Castle Gate Defense

Place gate helpers, hold incoming lanes, and protect one visible castle gate

Place gate helpers beside the lane, spend reserve carefully, and hold five quick lane pushes before the castle gate gives way.

Pick a helper, select a gate pad, then place it before the next lane reaches the arch.
Lantern helpers cover long bends, while bell helpers slow pressure markers through tighter turns.
Press W to send the next lane, U to upgrade the selected helper, and R to start a new gate run.
