It begins off fundamental, having you rotate weapons and ammunition till all of them match snugly inside. Nonetheless, the sport rapidly introduces herbs, the well being meter, and merchandise combos for some depth.
Issues are subsequently sourced from how you will first use the objects to revive well being, after which match the remaining ones across the case’s restricted slots. Some weapons will then should be loaded with bullets — thus slicing down on the objects it is advisable retailer — and any ammo left over may be stacked on high of one another to reduce the burden. Throughout 40 ranges, you will organize this stuff into order throughout various levels of complexity.
