Quest

Two heroes. One quest.

Sir Garahn: heavy sword swings, broad attacks and stronger knockback. Astrid: one dagger, faster strikes and recovery, and a 10-metre combat roll on clear ground (slightly farther with Charge & Roll Mastery; older earned travel bonuses are retained). Obstacles and forest boundaries safely shorten either hero’s dash.

Controls & abilities

WASD

Move along the road or dodge into the shallow forest. On mobile, drag the left MOVE joystick; a small drag moves slowly. You can use both joysticks and an ability together.

Arrow keys / mobile LOOK joystick

Look up to 50° sideways and tilt 12° vertically. Release to smoothly face forward. Your movement and attacks stay unchanged. Hide the camera joystick in Pause settings.

Tab · 1 / 2

Switch heroes. Your companion fights alongside you.

Spacebar

Basic attack. Hold for repeated attacks.

Shift

Garahn: Tank Charge & Rising Strike. Charge 11.7 metres with 40% damage reduction, deflect minor frontal projectiles and finish with an upward sword sweep. Large orcs stop the charge and trigger the finisher. Heavy arrows and boss attacks remain dangerous. Astrid’s Roll — Quickly evade attacks and travel up to approximately 10 metres. Gently steer with movement controls. The roll protects you while active and stops on contact. It ends with Violet Reversal: one focused dagger stab, then a full-circle spinning kick to push orks away. Aim the stab with your final roll direction; ending beside an ork adds 20% stab damage. Shared Dash upgrades improve its distance, speed, steering and impacts. Wait for its cooldown before rolling again.

Q

Runic Whirlwind / Violet Tempest: spinning area attacks.

E · from wave 3

Crocodile Spirit: heavy magical impact. Platypus Spirit: three quick magical hits.

R

United Strike: earn 100% Unity by fighting and defeating orcs. Switching heroes before landing a hit adds a small bonus. Starts empty each wave; one charge at a time. Level 1 has an 8m radius (16m across), with full damage near the centre and 40% damage at the edge. Five store mastery levels increase its power. Bosses take at most 25% of maximum health per strike; wounded bosses can be finished.

C · then C again

Jump, then quickly press again to double jump.

Double jump + Spacebar

Ground Slam: Garahn drives his sword down; Astrid raises her single dagger and drives it into the ground, with her free hand supporting the landing. A passive combo, with no store unlock or separate button. Attack while airborne after the second jump.

H · B · Escape

Eat a carried pie · open the campfire store · pause/resume.

Touch screens: use the left movement joystick, optional right camera joystick and labelled ability buttons. Tap Jump twice, then Attack to slam; tap Switch to change heroes.

Know your wildlife

Drop Bears hurt everyone—including you. From wave 4, watch claw-marked trees for shaking branches and listen for a scream. Get out of the gold landing circle: their fall damages and knocks back nearby heroes and orks. Decorative trees do not summon bears.

Wom-bats are friendly, untargetable flying wombats. Watch for their berry deliveries. Walk near a landed berry to draw it in gently; grab it before it disappears.

Bushland Allies upgrades: At the Campfire Store, improve wombat visits, berry duration and potency, or Drop Bear damage and occasional double attacks. Reinforced Armour also protects against Drop Bear impacts. Each extra bear gets its own warning circle.

Berry field guide · base effects

Temporary effects show their remaining time above the battlefield. Platypus Pies restore health; carry them from the store and press H when you need one.

World features & important structures

Campfire Store

Appears after each completed wave. Click OPEN CAMPFIRE STORE or press B to pause the next-wave countdown and buy shared hero upgrades, pies or healing. Closing it resumes the remaining countdown.

Drop Bear Trees

Claw-marked trunks and moving branches identify real Drop Bear trees. Watch for the warning circle before a bear falls. Impacts hurt nearby orks AND heroes—these bears are not on your side.

Wombat Flyovers

Friendly winged wombats cross the battlefield and drop magical berries, including healing berries and temporary power-ups. They cannot be targeted. Platypus Pies come from the store.

Crossroads & Orc Spawn Points

Orcs approach from the road and reachable side entrances. Every fifth wave permanently adds another possible entrance. Warning rings appear before enemies emerge; the entrances move with the forest.

Endless Forest Path

New road sections appear ahead as the heroes journey deeper. Completed sections close behind you. Finish every ork in the wave to continue; mini-bosses arrive every fifth wave.

Forest Boundary

Dense bushes, trees and fog mark the limits. Heroes, enemies and rewards stay inside the reachable battle area. Explore the shallow forest without trying to cross the undergrowth.

Mini-Map / Forest Compass

White dots: both heroes. Outlined white dot: your selected hero. Red dots: regular and elite orcs. Green dots: mini-bosses. Use the compass button to minimise it. Edge arrows help locate reachable enemies outside the main view.

Save & settings

Use Save or the campfire’s save control to keep progress; check for a successful save message. The sound menu has separate music, effects and dialogue volumes. Decorative bones, ruins and old signs are scenery, not interactive objects.

Know your enemies

Watch attack warnings, then exploit recovery time. Mini-bosses have a large health bar and a green compass dot. This roster is drawn from the current game’s enemy definitions.
