Darkwaar is an experiment in creating and publishing small playable ideas regularly.
Today's puzzle
Today's Darkwaar is Darkwaar13 — a tiny defense puzzle built around anticipation.
You see where the next Wisps will appear, spend your Charge to place Sentries and Slabs around the Heart, then resolve the wave.
Protect the Heart for five waves.
A tiny browser puzzle for a few minutes of play.
How to play
- Place a Sentry or Slab next to the Heart or an existing piece
- Sentries cost 2 Charge
- Slabs cost 1 Charge
- The forecast shows where Wisps will appear
- Press Resolve when your defense is ready
- Survive all five waves
