How to Play Infection
Follow these simple steps to master the game mechanics and clear every tier.
- 01Step
Choose a stage, then tap enemies advancing along the three lanes to damage and destroy them before they reach your core.
- 02Step
Save your cooldown-gated lane blast for a crowded wave to clear an entire lane at once.
- 03Step
Survive as many waves as the stage requires — an enemy that reaches the core deals damage equal to its remaining health, and the run ends at zero core health.
