**Bunkerbolt** is a cartoon base-defense shooter: keep a small soldier and his stone fort standing while alien ships and robots attack in waves, by clicking or tapping where to shoot.

## How to play

1. Tap **TAP TO PLAY** on the loading screen and again on the start screen. Level 1 has three waves.
2. **Shoot:** click or tap where you want the soldier to fire. A crosshair shows the spot.
3. **Reload:** keep an eye on the bullet count next to the soldier and press Reload when it runs low.
4. **Power-ups:** the buttons on the right spend blue energy, at 20, 50 and 80, on heavier help.
5. **Shop:** coins buy weapons and upgrades in the shop on the start screen.

## What you see on screen

- **Start screen:** the BUNKER BOLT sign over the fort, with the shop, trophies and credits.
- **Top bar:** coins, blue energy and the fort's health.
- **The battlefield:** the fort on the left, the soldier in front and enemies coming from the right.
- **Wave banner:** the level number and which wave you are on.

## Tips

- Start shooting at once. In our test, doing nothing lost level 1 after 16 seconds in all three runs.
- Aim at the enemies, not at random. Random clicks downed none, while clicking on the enemies downed 5 of the 9 in wave 1.
- Keep the green aliens off the soldier. Every run we measured ended with them piled on him, so try the power-ups when they bunch up.
