Game Description: You are under attack! Defend your base through 14 enemy waves.

How to Play Zone of War:

• After the game fully loads, click the 'Play' button.
• Use your mouse to aim and shoot.
• Press your Space bar for air support.
• You are only allowed to use air support up to 3 times for the entire game.
• Your base health is indicated by the blue bar near the upper left corner.
• Your base health will decrease each time you are hit.
• Your goal is to destroy all of the enemy assets before your base is destroyed. If you do, you earn points and you go on to the next level.
• Between levels, you may use your points to buy upgrades. (Just click the plus sign to the right of each upgrade to spend a point).
• After you buy your upgrades, click the 'New Wave' button to continue on to the next battle.
• There are 14 levels of play.
• The game ends if your base health (the blue bar near the upper left corner) is completely destroyed, and disappears, during any level.

Zone of War Playing Tips:

• Always spend all of your points as soon as you get them. All upgrades will help. Each upgrade you purchase will last for the entire game, so there is no advantage to saving any points.
• It seems to me that it is good strategy to usually spend a point to repair your base after most levels. Although you probably will not need to do this after some of the early levels, if you only sustained minor damage, it is important to keep an eye on your blue bar at the top which indicates the health of your base. Just don't allow it to get too low before starting a new level. After all, it is the health of your base that will keep you in the game, so you will always want to start each level with the strongest base possible.
• Each time you play the game, try some of the different upgrades to figure out which ones you like the best.
• Use your air support (Press your Space bar) when you are getting overwhelmed.

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.
