Bean Tower

The harvest has turned. Knives, forks and spoons are marching back up the road to the granary, and somebody has to hold the gate.

Stand your beans in the stone beds beside the road and let them do the rest. Every piece of cutlery that reaches the gate costs you a store; when the stores run out, the run is over.

MERGE THEM
Drag one planted bean onto another of the same kind and the two become one — brighter, stronger, and standing in a single bed instead of two. Four forms in all. It costs nothing but the second bean, and the bed you free is worth as much as the strength you gain.

FIVE DEFENDERS
• Viper, steady and reaching further than he should.
• Astra, who never fires a shot and slows everything near her to a crawl.
• Karmakaze, who does not walk to the trouble — she is simply somewhere else.
• The Favourite, quick and light, and worth double on anything she finishes.
• DuskX, who picks up what got past you and carries it back up the road.
Each arrives when your beans reach what they are waiting for, and tells you what it does the first time you meet it.

TEN CAVES, THEN NO END
Ten hand-painted caves, each its own road, six waves apiece. Hold all six and the next one opens. Past the tenth is the endless road, which does not end — it only keeps count.

PICK WHO HOLDS THE GATE
The Queen in her horned bone mask, or the King in his capped bandana. They hold the gate the same; the light they throw across the cave does not.

NO ACCOUNT, NO WAITING
No sign-in, no timers, nothing to buy. It plays offline, on one hand, in portrait. Your levels and your best endless wave are kept on your device and nowhere else.
