Defend your sphere of influence against the marauding cubes who are after your only defence against the Red Void : Your 8 rings of protection. Once they are gone, all hope is lost and the game ends. But do not fear, your rings of protection have a powerful defence mechanism. And so the Endless War begins !
The rings defence mechanism take the form of a Triangle with 2 weapon systems:
- a Line cannon that eliminates the cubes and feeds their energy into a Ring Factory. Kill 10 cubes of the same color and gain a Ring of Protection. You'll need them !
- powerful blast blocks that allow you to remove any squares on the Rings of protection. This only works when the Line cannon is not firing.
