Aim and click to throw.\r\n\r\nPurple enemies are called PROXIES, you can use your ball and push them around. Without your OFFERING BOWL, you cannot touch them.\r\n\r\nThe bullies with yellow eyes are called SCUTS. You can't push a SCUT like you push a PROXIE, you must throw the OFFERING BOWL at them to change where there headed.\r\n\r\nWhen an enemy goes within the disappearing OPEN MAW, they will be burned as offerings to TEMPL.\r\n\r\nYou do not need to fear dying, TEMPL makes you immortal.\r\n\r\nTEMPL'S FAVORITE STRATEGIES:\r\n\r\n-> Push the bad dudes towards where the red hole is going to be, not where it is.\r\n\r\n--> Be careful throwing your ball cause it can push TEMPL pieces around as well.\r\n\r\n---> In between waves, take the time to push TEMPL back towards the center.\r\n\r\n----> The enemy is persistent, but dumb. They don't know what they're doing. If you let them wander around, they may just take care of themselves.\r\n\r\n-----> If you feel overwhelmed, just remember: You probably can't do it. Give up.","title":"defend TEMPL"}
