How to play
In Tower defense: CYBER CORE, your mission is to safeguard the CPU Core against relentless virus assaults.
CONTROLS:
• Camera: Use WASD, arrow keys, or left-click and drag to navigate the map. Zoom in/out with the mouse wheel.
• Game Speed: Press 1, 2, or 3. Spacebar resets speed to x1 instantly.
• Building: Select a card (it consumes "bytes"), then click an unoccupied spot on the grid.
MECHANICS:
• Supply Chain (Essential!): Turrets require ammo to operate. Construct an Energy Cell, then a RAM Cluster, and a turret. Link them by holding the click on one building and dragging a line to the next.
• Economy: Position Energy Cells on byte deposits (blue cells marked with "B") for a steady income. Increase your byte storage capacity by building ROMs.
• Anomalies: Green zones heal enemies, red zones harm them, purple zones enhance tower damage, and yellow zones boost virus health.
• Bonuses: Activate freeze and bomb patches dropped by enemies with a click. Drag the green healing patch onto damaged structures to repair them.
Beware of unexpected hacker attacks!
