Combat Basics
Turns go in Speed order, mixing your party and the enemies. On your turn, pick an ability, then pick a target — either tap the enemy's card directly, or use the Target row of buttons. Basic Attack is always free.
Resolve (RES)
RES fuels your abilities. It regenerates a little each round. If a character's RES hits 0, they become Shaken — reduced accuracy and DEF — until it recovers.
Exposure
A mission-wide meter that only goes up, driven by "loud" abilities. Higher Exposure risks enemy reinforcements mid-fight, and finishing a mission at High Exposure triggers a forced escape sequence. Playing quiet keeps it low — it's a real trade-off against using your strongest AoE tools.
Your Team
Soldier — front-line damage and crowd control (including Red Dust, a heavy AoE stun).
Saboteur — AoE damage and sabotage tools like EMP Burst and Planted Charge.
Medic — healing, reviving downed allies, and battlefield intel via Analyze.
Defector — debuffs enemies and can even turn a weak enemy soldier to your side.
Missions
Each mission chains 2-3 fights together. HP, RES, and Exposure all carry across every fight in the same mission — nothing resets until you reach the Safehouse. Some fights include a choice point that changes your route. The Safehouse fully heals your team, resets Exposure, and grows your stats a little with each mission you complete.
Campaign Order
Supply Depot and Broadcast Tower play first, in that order. Clearing both unlocks all four continent mothership missions (North America, South America, Australia, Asia) — play them in any order you like. Clearing all six unlocks the finale: Mothership: Orbital Command.
Difficulty
Recruit — weaker enemies, fewer reinforcements, faster party growth. Officer — the standard balance. Veteran — tougher enemies, more frequent reinforcements, slower growth. Pick it from the buttons near the top of the screen; it applies to every mission you start from here on.
Fullscreen
The ⛶ button in the top-right corner expands the game to fill your screen — handy on tablets. Tap it again (or the ✕ it becomes) to exit.
Save Code
Progress normally saves automatically, but some browsers or hosting setups block that silently. If your progress isn't surviving a reload, tap Show Save Code, copy the text it gives you somewhere safe, and paste it into Load Save Code later (or on another device) to restore everything.
