How to Play Defendin' DePenguin
Quick start
Begin the first defense stage and inspect the path leading to the food supply. Build one affordable defense where it can cover passing enemies. Start the wave, watch what gets through and invest the reward in an upgrade or another useful position rather than spending blindly.
Controls
Select a defense from the DS build menu and place it on an allowed position. Touch or select an existing defense to inspect its range and available upgrades. Use the wave-start or pause controls when shown; choosing a tower and commanding a character are different menu actions.
Defendin' DePenguin — About this game
Defendin' DePenguin is a lighthearted tower-defense strategy game. Read the first route before building: a defense that covers a bend can have more useful firing time than one far from the enemy path. Spend a little, watch a wave and identify which threat slips through before adding more. Different defenses and upgrades should work together, so widening coverage can matter as much as buying another strong tower. Keep the protected supply in mind rather than chasing an enemy after it has already passed your best positions. Learn the build and upgrade menu in the opening stage and adapt each new layout instead of repeating an ineffective arrangement.
