## What is Forge & Fortress?

FORGE & FORTRESS — TRAIN YOUR MULTI-TASKING SKILLS

Can you match crystals AND defend your base at the same time? Forge & Fortress challenges both hemispheres of your brain simultaneously — and gets harder every second.

HOW IT WORKS
The screen is split in two. You control both sides at once.

THE FORGE (left side)
Swipe to chain 3 or more matching magical crystals:
- Sun Shards + Moon Dust → ENERGY
- Stoneheart Ore + River Silt → MATERIAL

The longer your chain, the more resources you collect.

THE FORTRESS (right side)
Spend your resources to hold the line:
- Fire a Lightning Bolt — costs 2 Energy
- Build a Defensive Wall — costs 5 Material

Enemies arrive in endless waves and get faster over time. If they breach the fortress wall, your base loses health. Reach zero and it's game over.

THE MULTI-TASKING CHALLENGE
This is not a game where you can focus on one thing at a time.

If you ignore the Forge, you run out of ammunition and walls. If you ignore the Fortress, your base crumbles while you're busy matching crystals.

The real skill is learning to split your attention cleanly — gathering resources on the left while tracking and responding to threats on the right. Over time your brain learns to process both streams of information simultaneously, improving divided attention, reaction speed, and cognitive flexibility.

FEATURES
- Endless survival gameplay — how long can you last?
- Global leaderboard — compete for the top score
- Two defensive tactics: Zap or Build
- Escalating difficulty — enemies spawn faster every wave
- Designed to train divided attention and multi-tasking
- Beautiful dark-fantasy crystal art
- No ads. No in-app purchases. Completely free.

TIPS
→ Always keep at least 2 Energy in reserve for a quick zap
→ Walls slow enemies but don't stop them — use them to buy time
→ Chain 5+ crystals at once for bigger resource hauls
→ Enemy speed accelerates — prioritise defence as time goes on
→ Your score is based on survival time — every second counts
