Features

Walkthrough

Navigating Glinhorn Forest

Your goal is to clear a path to the exit on each floor of a dungeon by depleting stacks of cards. Tap on a card to interact with it—attack enemies, collect treasures, or equip weapons. Be cautious: taking a card from a stack commits you to clearing the entire stack, and hidden cards may reveal surprises.

Managing Resources

Monitor your health and weapon durability. Use potions to heal and spells to gain advantages, but beware of enemies that stun or poison you. Check enemy effects by tapping and holding to avoid unexpected challenges.

Gameplays

Strategic Card Selection

Each level is a 4x4 grid of card stacks. You can only see the top card, and choosing one means you must clear the entire stack. Balance risk and reward—grabbing a powerful spell might reveal tough enemies beneath.

Boss Battles

Boss fights are simpler; focus on finding the boss’s heart, indicated by a heart with arrows on the floor. Use high-value weapons to defeat bosses efficiently, but ensure they match the enemy’s number type (even or odd) to avoid breaking your weapon.

    Questions And Answers

    Here are some possible questions and answers that you might find useful

    1. Q:How do I avoid breaking my weapon?

      A:Match the number type (even or odd) of your weapon to the enemy’s card. For example, use an even-numbered weapon (e.g., 8) against an even-numbered enemy (e.g., 10) to retain your weapon after combat.

    2. Q:What should I prioritize in the shop?

      A:Focus on permanent upgrades like Weapon Beckon or Token of Muster for long-term benefits. Single-use items can be risky due to the game’s random generation.
