Bastle: Match 3 Castle Defense

The goblin horde is at the gate. Every match you make sends help to the wall.

Bastle is a match 3 puzzle game and a castle defense battle in one. The board sits at the bottom of the screen, the battle rages above it, and every match fires at once: knights charge out of the gate, archers loose a volley, the cannon booms. No charging up, no waiting for your turn. Match fast, hold the wall, protect the King.

HOW TO PLAY
• Red swords send knights out to block the enemy on the road
• Blue arrows fire an archer volley - the only thing that hits bats in the air
• Yellow bombs load the cannon for a blast that hits a whole group
• Green hammers repair the castle wall between waves
• Survive every wave and win up to three stars for the wall you kept standing

TOWER DEFENSE THAT READS THE BOARD
• Each enemy has a counter: shield bearers shrug off arrows but not cannonballs, a battering ram stops only for knights, bats laugh at everything except arrows
• The horde fights back on your board: catapults throw rocks onto your tiles, rams push in crates, shamans chain your tiles
• An ogre warlord every six levels, fast wolves that only arrows catch well, and a frost color that slows and wounds
• Combos and special tiles - bomb, rainbow, combo - turn a good move into a battlefield explosion
• Lost a level? The next try gets a little easier, so nobody gets stuck for good

REBUILD THE KINGDOM
Goblins swept across the land and left its castles in ruins. The good King rides out to rebuild them one by one: the Watchtower, the Palisade, the Keep, the Walls, the Fortress and at last the golden Citadel. Spend the gold you win on walls, a forge, an archery range, a cannon foundry, a chapel and barracks - every building makes your army stronger in battle. A kingdom map keeps track of every castle you took back, and when the horde strikes again, the King marches to defend it.

RESCUE THE ROYAL FAMILY
Between battles, the horde throws the King, the Queen or the little Prince into the dungeon. Match tiles next to the sand to dig a channel, let the sand drop below the line until the latch opens, and get them out before the snake crawls down the pipe.
