The core loop
Step
In short
Every round follows the same cycle: place turrets, earn rewards from kills, then spend those rewards to hit harder in the next wave.
Bugs march toward your town hall in waves. Turrets you place fire at them automatically, so your main job is deciding where each turret goes. Killing bugs earns you money, and that money buys more turrets or makes existing ones stronger.
- Collect rewards every bug you kill puts money back in your pocket.
- Protect the town hall if bugs break through and destroy it, the game ends.
