Rules & Scoring
Game Rules
- 1You start with 100 HP and face waves of enemies that increase each level (3 + 2 per level)
- 2Three enemy types appear: Grunts (gray, fast, 100 points), Ogres (brown, medium speed, 150 points), and Shamblers (blue, slow but tough, 200 points)
- 3Your bullets deal 25 damage per hit; enemies have 30 + 10 per level HP, requiring more shots at higher levels
- 4Enemies chase you and deal contact damage: Grunts 10, Ogres 15, Shamblers 20 HP
- 5Clear all enemies in a wave to advance to the next level where enemies are faster and tougher
Scoring System
Kill Grunts for 100 points, Ogres for 150 points, and Shamblers for 200 points. Your total score accumulates across all levels. Higher levels spawn more enemies with more HP, so surviving longer means exponentially higher scores.
Tips & Strategies
Beginner
- Keep moving at all times - standing still makes you an easy target for the swarm of enemies chasing you
- Your gun auto-aims at the nearest enemy, so focus on positioning with WASD and spam Space to shoot
- Prioritize killing Grunts first since they are the fastest enemies and will reach you quickly
- Use the edges of the arena to kite enemies - run along the perimeter and fire behind you as they follow
Advanced
- Target Shamblers (blue, larger enemies) for 200 points each - they are slow and easier to hit from a distance
- Each bullet does 25 damage, so at Level 1 enemies need 2 shots (30 HP) but at Level 5 they need 4 shots (80 HP) - plan accordingly
- Enemy speed increases each level by 0.15 per level, so early levels are the best time to build a score cushion
- When enemies respawn after hitting you, they teleport to the top of the arena - use this to create separation
- Learn the spawn pattern: enemies start scattered in the top half of the arena, so position yourself at the bottom early in each wave
Pro
- Circle-strafe around enemy clusters: move in a large circle while continuously firing to hit grouped enemies efficiently
- At high levels, Grunts move at 1.5+ speed while you move at 5 - maintain maximum distance and fire rapidly for safe kills
- Focus fire on one enemy at a time rather than spreading damage, since only dead enemies reduce threat level
- Shamblers deal 20 contact damage versus Grunts' 10, so always keep Shamblers at maximum distance even though they are slow
