Controls
Mouse and touch
Click a figure in the bar, then a square of the field to place it.
The Remove button takes a figure off the field and refunds 25% of its cost: the field greys out, tap the figure to remove.
The campaign trump card fires with one click as soon as it is charged.
On a phone the match is played in landscape: cards on the left, field on the right. The pause menu can release the orientation.
The rules in short
Endorsements pay for figures. You get a trickle on your own, and far more with an income figure.
Every opponent who reaches the steps costs you a poll point. At zero, you lose.
Hold every wave to win the night and unlock the next one, along with a new figure.
Every card shows its type: Money (brings in endorsements), Attack, Effect (slows, freezes, pushes back) or Defence.
The tax office withholds endorsements for as long as its inspector is on the field; the family-benefits office pays some out now and then, when the file is complete.
From the level "The Street Rumbles" onwards, every camp can call riot police and firefighters as reinforcements.
Keyboard shortcuts only work while focus is inside the game.
