Defend the planet against the aliens by playing cards to build new towers or upgrade existing towers.

Use the arrow keys to move your cursor to look at your cards and towers. Press (A) to play cards. Certain cards may require you to choose a target using the arrow keys and the (A) button. You may cancel a targeted card using the (B) button.

There are two types of cards: Upgrades and New Towers. New Towers will override the existing tower at the chosen location with the tower on the card. 

If none of the cards in your hand seem good, you can press (B) to spend 1 gold and get new cards. At the start of each turn, you reload your money. The maximum amount of money you receive increases each turn. 
As the game progresses, stronger cards will become available.

At the end of your turn, your towers will attack the enemy directly in front of it. If the color of your tower dominates the color of your enemy, it will deal 2x the amount of damage. Red towers dominate green, green dominates blue, and blue dominates red.

Any enemy that survives will deal its remaining power to your health.
