> royal fortress, king training, recruitable allies (warriors and a mage) and
> gate expansions that open new regions of the kingdom. It is made by Edgo Lab

> by Ederson and Pedro. The official page is in Portuguese.

## Facts

- Category: kingdom defense / tower defense / action game for iPhone.
- Platform: iPhone, iOS 17 or later, portrait only. Single player.
- Status: in development (version 0.1.0); "coming soon" to the App Store.
  No release date or price has been announced.
- Language: Portuguese (Brazil).
- Credits: game design by Ederson and Pedro; studio: Edgo Lab Studio.
- Works fully offline. Progress (including recruited allies) is saved
  automatically; lifetime statistics (waves cleared, enemies and bosses
  defeated, coins earned/spent/lost, best wave) are kept.
- Controls: drag anywhere for a floating joystick; the king attacks nearby
  enemies on his own; standing on a dashed plot spends coins on it.
- Enemies: goblin warriors (from wave 1), runners (wave 2), armored goblins
  (wave 3), bombers that explode on contact (wave 5), elites (wave 7) and the
  boss Brutamus every five waves. Every ten waves the horde changes color and
  gets tougher. Waves are endless.
- Progression: towers (ballista → reinforced ballista → catapult with splash
  damage), houses (tax income each cleared wave), castle (wooden hall → stone
  castle → royal fortress with ballistas on its towers), repeatable king
  training (+damage, +health), allies (a warrior unlocked by the stone castle;
  a mage with splash damage and a second warrior unlocked by the fortress) who
  follow the king and fight alongside him, and three kingdom regions unlocked
  by tearing down the gate.
- Settings: difficulty (easy/normal/hard), camera zoom, sound volume,
  haptics, joystick visibility.
- Built with SwiftUI and SceneKit; low-poly 3D models with cartoon outlines
  built from primitives; the title music and sound effects are synthesized
  in code.
