Game Details
Minions will start coming, you can either shoot them, or place a tower to kill them. Each minion will drop a coin, you need to collect it for it to count, they last forever and won’t disappear, just remember to collect them.
Shooting from your character uses ammo, ammo will run out, you can buy more from the vendor above your base (he has a little hat), you need to be close to activate him. He also sells more weapons. Towers do not require ammo. As such you need to decide where best to spend your coins, towers or ammo. Ammo count is listed in the top left, the weapons do require reloads so watch out for this.
Towers do various things, hover the menus at the bottom for details. Red menu means you cannot afford it yet, white means you can. Your current coin count is listed at the top of the screen. They can be upgraded by clicking them. Arrow towers have two modes, Ground and Air. This means they will either target air or ground minions, it costs 5 coins to switch the mode, click a tower to bring up the menu, then select switch mode.
Critical Strike chance and damage percentage can be upgraded by clicking your base (It also costs coins), you need to be close to base.
