You may wish to discover things for yourself, but I've compiled much of the information you may want to know to get a good highscore.
- There is no true ending to the game, it's purely about getting a highscore.
- Each level will have exactly one exit, and either one crate, one crafting station, or one altar.
- Zombies will raise their hands before moving or attacking.
- Harvesting, attacking, crafting, and using an altar all use energy; if you run out of energy you will take damage instead.
- You can put any item on an altar, diamonds and duplicate upgrades will give you a different upgrade, lesser items will give you a specific reward (except vanishing smoke, which simply vanishes).
- Using the altar will summon zombies nearby.
- Put two items on a crafting station to create a new item:
:beetle: Known Issues
- Immediately after moving upward the tile/entity bellow the hero will be rendered beneath them (visible if it's taller than one tile)
- Rooms get larger each level, eventually this gets monotonous (searching for the single crate/craft/altar), and could potentially cause a crash on memory constrained systems
- You cannot pickup an item on a crafting station if you have already picked up another item

I don't know what's going on, but I played five rounds or so already. It's addicting to find out more about the game.
I'm not sure the music really works for this type of game though.
