      • In the lower right there are buttons for assigning your skill points, obtaining side quests from guilds, and using your gems to shop.
      • Swords which have a glowing red outline are levels you have not yet beat. Swords of other colors mean you have beat at least one version of that stage.
      • When you click on a sword it shows the star rating you have earned from each of the 3 versions of the level. You must beat the classic mode of a level before you are able to play the tactical or rush versions.
    • Level view
      • Across the top the game shows your spells, castle health, fast forward button, pause button, wave number, and how far into the current wave you are.
        • If your spells are a solid color that means they are fully charged. If they have a number on them that indicates how many seconds remain before full recharge.
        • The red castle health meter indicates how much health the castle has left.
        • The fast forward button is blue if the feature is active and gray if it is not.
        • The waves and wave meter indicate which wave you are on, how many total waves there are, and how far along you are on the current wave.
      • Across the bottom it shows how many lives you have, your gold, the types of dwarves you can build, and your bonuses you can use from the shop.
        • If your gold is full it will show the chest overflowing, which indicates you are wasting gold & should create some dwarves.
        • Dwarves will have a red number near them if they cost more treasure than you have & will have their price in white if you can afford them.
          • If you are playing in tactical mode there will be a second number on each dwarf type indicating how many of them you can use in the current wave.
        • One generally should not use the shop bonuses in most cases as those are hard to replenish.
      • To the right side of the screen there is a skull button when the next wave is about to appear.
        • Clicking on that will call them early, earning you bonus gold.

      • Meteor – drops a meteor on enemies wherever you aim. The boost varies depending on how powered up you make the meteor spell using your skill points. The meteor spell does 50 damage after the first upgrade, but by the time you fully upgrade it the spell does 200 damage, releases a swarm, and leaves behind a crater that ignites enemies which pass through it.

  • Play advice
    • Each location has 3 different basic stage types: classical, tactical & rush.
      • You can choose to play each version in either easy, medium or hard.
      • This game is quite challenging even on easy mode, so if you are not used to these types of games easy is a good starting point.
    • Build the right kinds of dwarves
      • Be sure to read the in-game advice as it can give you clues as to which dwarves may be the key to winning certain levels.
      • In general it can be helpful to have a mix of range and melee attackers working in conjunction.
      • When you are in the plague area you have to lean heavily on rune mages summoning golems.
    • Special characters
      • If you see a wolf in the background you can click on them to trigger a howl calling their pack.
      • The level with an octopus in it will have tentacles come out of the water and grab your dwarves. Click on the tentacles when you see them to protect your dwarves.
      • On the plague levels a grim reaper floats through the cloud of plague. When they smile in your direction it takes most of your health or fully kills off any dwarves near them. They have the same effect on your enemies if they turn right.
    • Leverage your spells
      • Using spells can help you augment your attack during periods of time when your dwarves are thin.
      • The attack, protect, and meteor spells replenish regularly.
      • Be sure to use your meteor spell on areas that are thick with enemies or on powerful enemies. The meteor spell takes a good bit of time to recharge, so do not use it casually.
    • Use your treasure
      • You can only store 200 gold in your treasury at most points in time. After you upgrade this feature it can go to 250.
      • If you call another wave of enemies sooner you can get bonus gold and this can set your gold well above the limit while letting you keep it.
      • If your gold is at or above the storage limit quickly create some dwarves so that you can earn more gold to buy other dwarves in the future.
    • Dying
      • This game offers unlimited continues, though dying can cost you gems.
    • Be careful with using the things you buy from the shop keeper & that appear in the lower right of your screen.
      • Those are not restored after used.
      • If you have many crystals saved up be sure to convert them into store purchases as you can lose some of the crystals whenever you fail a level.
      • If you are about to lose you can refresh the game to try to restart the level you were on.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for people who like cats or games similar to slide puzzles.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
