Foothold

Help Sleembo satisfy his insatiable desire for points by blowing up your footholds!

HOW TO PLAY

Controls:

• W, A, S, D to Move
• Left click to Shoot a blob at the mouse cursor
• Spacebar to Dash (can go over pits if you run out of reserves)

Scoring:

Points are earned passively over time. Every tile you destroy is added to your reserve pool, and every tile in your reserve pool increases the rate at which you generate points! The more that is broken, the faster you will generate points.

Preserving your 400 tile world:

Firing a blob at a location or enemy will destroy up to 4 tiles in a chain around that location, adding them to your reserve pool.

Any pit you approach will be repaired automatically using a tile from your reserve pool, unless that hole opens up right beneath you. Be careful not to shoot anything too close, or you might take a sudden trip to the abyss! Though trying to walk over a pit with no reserve tiles will achieve the same effect.

The MUNCHARS:

Munchars love to eat reserve tiles. So much so, that they’ll show up every 5 seconds to try and eat yours!

Be cautious, as being bitten by the Munchars will eat 10 of your reserve tiles. You can blob them directly, but popping them with a direct hit will destroy 2 tiles from your reserve pool. Lose too many tiles and you may find yourself out of replacement tiles, with a lot less ground to stand on, and with slower or no point gains!

Fortunately the Munchars are none too bright, and will walk right into any pit between you and them. Have them take the plunge to avoid losing any of your reserve tiles.

Beware how much land you sacrifice, as Munchars will be far more likely to surprise you if you don’t leave yourself some breathing room! The less space that is around Sleembo, the more likely it is that they will appear near him.

Slow and steady wins the race? Or go for broke with an all or nothing foothold breaking frenzy! You decide!
