The previous version made with Gamemaker Studio 2 was developed until chapter 4 and has been discontinued, whereas the current version made with Unity is still under development. Currently, it is expected to have around 112 contraptions, 64 enemies and 132 levels.
For news and updates about the game, please follow Cuerzor’s online activity, as well as the game’s changelog.
Energy is a resource used to place contraptions, corresponds to sun from Plants vs Zombies.
Without energy, it is impossible to place contraptions. Additional energy can be obtained by collecting Redstone or by using contraptions that produce energy.
You can only have up to 9,990 energy at a time.
Contraptions are the weapons you use to attack enemies, corresponds to plants from Plants vs Zombies.
There are many different types of contraptions, such as:
- Dispenser for attacking enemies.
- Furnace for producing redstone.
- Obsidian for blocking enemies.
- Mine TNT for blowing up enemies.
- etc.
A specified amount of energy must be spent to place a contraption. After you place a contraption, you must wait a set amount of time for the contraption to recharge before placing it again. The time it takes for a contraption to recharge varies.
Enemies are what you need to defeat, corresponds to zombies from Plants vs. Zombies.
There are various kinds of enemies, such as:
- Zombie which is the most common.
- Iron Helmet Zombie which is tougher.
- Skeleton which shoots arrows to your contraptions.
- etc.
The core of the game is to judiciously use contraptions to defeat enemies.
Gems are collectable objects, corresponds to coins from Plants vs Zombies.
There are three types of gems:
- Emeralds which are worth 10.
- Rubies which are worth 50.
- Diamonds which are worth 1000.
After collecting enough gems, you can buy and unlock items from the store or from events to increase your power.
Battlefields are where battles take place. Different battlefields have different effects.
For example: Halloween takes place at night, so you can’t get extra energy from the mine, and at every wave two Gargoyles are summoned to disrupt your formation.
Starshards are items capable of shifting the entire battlefield, corresponds to plant food from Plants vs Zombies.
When you defeat an enemy that is glowing green, it will drop a starshard. You can also get additional starshards from contraptions that produce them.
After using a starshard on a contraption, the contraption is evoked, erupting with enough power to shift the tide of battle.
Different contraptions have different evocation abilities. Using starshards wisely can reduce the game’s difficulty.
Artifacts are a series of in-game items with passive effects. After unlocking Artifacts, you can equip them during battles to gain enhancements or special effects.
Different Artifacts provide distinct effects. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock more Artifacts, and the number of Artifacts you can equip per level will increase.
Bosses are the goal of each chapter in Adventure Mode. You must defeat a chapter’s boss to unlock the next chapter.
Each boss has great power, which is a big challenge for players. However, they can easily be defeated once you figure out their weakness.
The difficulties option is a new system in this game. The game becomes harder or easier depending on the difficulty chosen.
There are three difficulties:
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard
For the differences between difficulties, see the Difficulty Differences section.

- Reduced glowstone light range caused by the Broken Lantern artifact cant prevent mind-control.
