You must prevent the slimes from reaching the princess. If any slime does, you lose the game. Slimes will appear from a hole in the ground and blindly wander the landscape. While they will relentlessly look for food, they cannot cross water or climb over objects. Use a variety of items and magical attacks to slow them down and destroy them all before they reach the princess.

Each level is split into three rounds. Each round has a build phase and an action phase.

The build phase allows you to build fences. Fences can be used to herd slimes away from the princess, though you cannot completely wall her off. Fences cost one gold coin each. To place a fence, select one from the Wall Menu and click where you would like to place it. All fences work and cost the same, they just have different looks. When you are finished building, click 'Start' to start the action phase.

In the action phase, the slimes will start spawning. You have a variety of magic attacks you can use to kill the slimes. Each attack has a different damage rate and mana cost. Your mana automatically recharges over time, but you won't be able to use an attack until you have stored up enough mana for it. You can select an attack by clicking on it in the Attack Menu, and use it by clicking where you'd like to cast it.

Another item you can use to help defend the princess is bait. If you place a bait on the field and a slime finds it, it will take a bite and head back to their hole to stash some away. When they do this, they will also leave a pheromone trail which will lead any other slimes to the fruit. You can select Bait by clicking on it in the Item Menu, and use it by clicking where you'd like to place it. Each bait will cost you one gold coin.

HINTS:
- Use [1, 2, 3] on your keyboard to quickly switch between magic attacks.
- Some slimes will drop gold coins; make sure to grab them!
- Try attacking large groups of slimes as all caught in the attack radius will be hurt.
- Use fences to make the path to the princess much longer.
- Use bait to group slimes together.
- Use bait as a last line of defense before the princess.
- While bait is more effective than fences at grouping together slimes, they will disappear once they have been fully eaten or when the round ends. You'll need to divide your coins between both fences and bait.
