How to play Lane Defense
- Tap a defender card (or drag it) and then a lawn tile to plant it. Tap glowing energy orbs to collect them.
- Glow Blooms make energy, Pea Pods shoot up their lane, Rock Nuts block, Boom Berries blast a 3×3 area and Frost Pods slow monsters.
- Monsters march down the lanes. A mower saves each lane once — if a monster gets past it, the run ends. Each level ends with a huge final wave; every 5th level brings Giant bosses.
- Shovel digs up a defender for half its cost; Lightning zaps every monster. Upgrades add starting energy, damage and coins.
