The game uses a top-down, mission-based structure. Each stage typically alternates between preparation and assault, letting players place walls, traps, turrets, and support structures before enemies arrive. During combat, Lock can move around the battlefield, repair damaged defenses, and use special actions to hold the line. Progress depends on efficient fort placement, path control, and surviving repeated waves under pressure.

Lock
The young protagonist who constructs defenses and fights on the front lines.
Lord Agony
The main villain leading the invading clockwork forces.
Strategy
Build layered defenses instead of relying on a single wall line. Place high-damage structures at chokepoints and corners, and keep repair materials available for critical breaches. Learn enemy movement patterns early so you can reserve stronger defenses for the waves that matter most.
