Gameplay Mechanics
Defenses are presented as tower pieces that fit together like puzzle parts, allowing you to shape the battlefield and direct dinosaur movement. Mouse‑only input lets you drag and drop each piece onto the map.
Each tower has a distinct effect, and the selection you make before a level determines how well you can handle incoming waves. The puzzle‑piece shape adds a spatial‑planning layer to the traditional tower‑defense loop.
- Arrange towers to create narrow paths that force dinos to travel longer routes.
- Observe how different tower shapes influence enemy flow before committing to a layout.
