Gameplay

Complete 5 levels of Idol Knight to win the game.

Goal

In order to complete a level, defeat all enemies by using different items to attack, defend and manipulate the positions of enemies. Decent via the stairs tile.

Interaction

Hover over tiles to see which Items can be used. If available click on an item card to activate it. Valid targets are highlighted and you can select which enemy to attack. Click on your character to see a selection of reachable tiles to move to with your current energy.

Energy

Each turn you gain 5 energy which you can use to move or use on available items. Each item has an energy cost and each step you take costs 1 energy as well. As long as you have energy left you can use as many items as you wish. Once you run out of energy or move a turn ends and all enemies take a turn.
