## What is Endless Rook Survival?

One Rook. Endless Waves. Outlast them all.

Take command of a single Chinese-chess Rook and crush an endless tide of assassins. Slide in straight lines, decide who dies first, and stay alive.

■ Core Rules
- You control one Rook — move any distance straight up, down, left, or right
- Step on enemies to capture them. Get cornered and you fall
- Every wave introduces a new threat: Soldiers, Guards, Generals, Elephants, Horses, Cannons

■ Strategic Items
- Revive Pearl — Cast a barrier to wipe out everything around you. The ultimate escape
- Strike Jewel — Erase one annoying enemy from the board
- Skip Token — Skip ad views and get the same reward instantly

■ What Makes It Shine
- Rich Chinese-dynasty inspired art
- 2-minute runs perfect for pickup play
- Compete globally on the Game Center leaderboard

■ Monetization
- Free to play
- One-time purchases only, no subscriptions
- Optional "Welcome Pack" makes your first run a breeze

Defeat a General and your next move unleashes the Cross Strike — clearing an entire row and column. Chain captures and dominate the board.

Quick to learn. Endlessly deep. How far can you survive?
