Special Rules

• The Tower Fights on Its Own: Every enemy is auto-targeted. There is no placing, aiming, or building — you only decide what to buy. Cash earned in a run is spent in that run and resets when the tower falls; coins, gems, and XP are kept.
• 25 Upgrades in Three Tabs: Attack (10): Damage, Attack Speed, Critical Chance, Critical Factor, Range, Damage/Meter, Multishot Chance, Multishot Targets, Rapid Fire Chance, Rapid Fire Duration. Defense (8): Health, Health Regen, Defense %, Defense Absolute, Thorn Damage, Lifesteal, Knockback Chance, Knockback Force. Utility (7): Cash Bonus, Cash/Wave, Boss Loot, Boss Bonus, and Free Attack/Defense/Utility Upgrade chances. You start with Damage, Attack Speed, and Health; the rest unlock one card at a time as your player level rises to 12.
• Enemies You Can Read at a Glance: Six regular types: Basic squares, Fast triangles from wave 2, Ranged diamonds that stop and shoot from wave 3, armored Tanks from wave 9, Protectors from wave 14 that shield nearby enemies with an aura, and blinking Bombers that explode against your wall for six times a normal hit. Mini-bosses appear from wave 5. Up to 170 enemies can be alive at once.
• A Boss Every 10 Waves: Four bosses rotate: the Boss at wave 10 (10× a basic enemy's health), The Brood at 20 (sheds 3 runners at half health and 6 more when it dies), The Warden at 30 (4 seconds open, 3 seconds shielded — only 20% of damage gets through the shield), and The Hive at 40 (parks at the edge of your range, shoots, and hatches 2 runners every 3 seconds). From wave 50 the cycle repeats with more health.
• Raids and Swarms: One raid per 10-wave window breaks the rhythm — an Ambush from wave 6, a Siege from wave 16, a Convoy from wave 26 — plus swarm waves that ring the arena.
• Idle Rewards (Player Level 8): While you're away the game banks coins, gems, and items for you — up to 24 hours per claim, claimable after at least 10 minutes away. Coins per hour are 8% of a boss payout at your best wave, gems per hour are 0.25 plus your best wave ÷ 400, and you get 1 to 4 items per day. Every new record raises the rate.
• Checkpoints: Once a run ends past wave 30, the next run can start from your last 10-wave floor (30, 40, 50…) with all the cash that run had earned — or from wave 1 if you prefer.
• Speed Unlocks: x1.5 at best wave 30, x2 at 60, x2.5 at 100, x3 at 200.
• Time Bubble: A 5-second field that slows every enemy within 22 meters by 55%, on a 90-second cooldown. The four Ultimate Weapons talents extend its duration, strengthen the slow, shorten the cooldown, and widen the radius.
• Player Levels and Unlocks: Runs pay XP by wave reached; levels go 1 to 60. Equipment unlocks at level 2, Talent Draw at 3, Store at 4, Milestones at 5, Daily Tasks at 6, Awards at 7, Idle Rewards at 8, Profile at 9.
• Equipment, Chests, and Talents: Six slots — weapon, armor, shoes, necklace, gloves, belt — in Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary, each upgradable to level 60. Wooden and Silver chests cost coins (the price follows your best wave); the Golden chest costs 50 gems and guarantees an Epic weapon. Talents are 28 cards in four families (Attack 8, Defense 8, Utility 8, Ultimate Weapons 4), each rated up to five stars.
• Milestones, Daily Tasks, Awards: Milestone rewards sit on Fibonacci waves — 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181 — with a reward on each side. Daily tasks (play 3 battles, reach wave 20, kill 400 enemies, beat 2 bosses, buy 50 upgrades, claim idle rewards) pay coins and gems. Twelve awards with four tiers each — Slayer, Survivor, Boss Hunter, Veteran, Tinkerer, Banker, Treasure Hunter, Collector, Blacksmith, Scholar, Star Power, Time Lord.
• Store: Free Coins and Free Gems can be claimed every 3 minutes; coin packs cost gems; Coin Bonus x2 (20 gems, 10 minutes) and Head Start (20 gems) are the two boosts. Nothing is sold for real money.

Weapons

• Pistol: Your starter sidearm. Every hit nudges enemies back.
• Shotgun (wave 13): A fan of pellets. Short range, shreds packs.
• Vampire (wave 21): Fast SMG. Every hit heals the tower.
• Assault Rifle (wave 34): Armor piercing: extra damage to Tanks and Protectors.
• Machine Gun (wave 55): Bursts, then cools down. Extra damage to Fast enemies.
• Sniper (wave 89): Slow, huge hits. Always shoots the boss first.
• Dagger (wave 144): Close combat: enemies near the tower take damage every second.
• Cannon (wave 233): Shells explode on impact and hit everything nearby.
• Rarities and Names: Each weapon drops in Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary with its own doodle name — the Pistol runs Pencil Pistol → Ink Pistol → Quill Revolver → Doodle Magnum. Weapons swap on the home screen, not mid-run.
