How the game loop works
Summary
Monster waves arrive every minute, so you always know when the next threat is coming. Killing each monster earns you one point, and simply surviving to the end of a round adds five more. Those points go straight to the shop, where you buy items to strengthen your base for future rounds.
- Monsters spawn on a one-minute cycle throughout the game
- Per-kill reward one point for every monster you take down
- Round-clear bonus five points added when your team survives
- Shop spend accumulated points on equipment and base parts
Building a stronger base
Tips
You have access to a wide selection of models and parts. The wiring and configure tools let you set up automated defenses and detection. Use save slots to record layouts that worked well so you can reload them if a run goes badly.
- Use the wiring tool to create automated defenses and enemy detection
- Save a working layout to a slot before experimenting so you always have something solid to fall back on
- Browse the full parts library — tons of models and parts are available
