How to play

Goblins, ogres and worse march on the castle. If they break the gate they go for the Heart; if the Heart breaks, the run is over.

WASD move, mouse look (click to capture it), scroll zoom.
Left mouse Arcane Bolt (hold), right mouse Fireball.
Q Chain Lightning, E Frost Nova, R Meteor, Space Blink.
Between waves the War Council sells upgrades for you, your spells, the towers, the gate and the barracks.
From wave 10 you may Ascend: end the run and turn the waves you held into Aether for the Ascension tree. Falling in battle earns Aether too.

Elemental reactions. Spells combine: fire on a frozen foe Shatters it, lightning on a burning foe Overloads in a blast, lightning on a chilled foe Superconducts farther, and frost on a burning foe bursts into stunning Steam.

Boons. After wave 5 and after every boss you choose one of three boons that last the run.

Pop goblin sappers early: their blast hurts their friends. Fire stops trolls from healing.

A boon is offered

Choose one. It lasts until the run ends.
