## What is PixeHero?

PixelHero is a pixel-art tower defense where the rhythm of your taps decides whether the bastion holds.

HOW IT WORKS:
• Place pixel towers on the frontier path before each wave spawns
• Towers fire automatically when invaders enter range
• Tap the beat markers to time a perfect shot — perfect timing deals double damage
• Wrong placement or mistimed shots and the invaders reach your bastion
• Survive all waves of a stage to unlock the next chapter

FOUR TOWER CLASSES — EACH WITH A DISTINCT WEAPON:
• Archer Tower — A wooden archer with a banner flag. Fast single arrows.
• Cannon Tower — A stone cannon on a stepped platform. Heavy splash damage.
• Frost Tower — A crystal spire that slows enemies in range.
• Poison Tower — A cauldron that drops poison clouds on the path.

60 HAND-TUNED STAGES ACROSS 3 FRONTIER WORLDS:
• Willowmarch — Gentle introductions, single-path maps (stages 1–20)
• Ashenvale — Branching paths, mixed enemy waves (stages 21–40)
• Ironhold — The final bastion, multi-path onslaught (stages 41–60)

BEAT LAYER:
• Each tower has a beat marker that pulses on a slow frontier march tempo
• Tapping the marker during the perfect window doubles damage for the next shot
• Building beats higher as waves get longer — the dusk march never stops

ENEMY MIX:
• Grunts — Walkers, no resistance
• Vanguard — Faster, more HP
• Brute — Slow but heavy armor, requires cannon splash
• Wraith — Phases out of arrow fire, only frost or poison stops it

FEATURES:
• Core gameplay fully offline — internet only for optional ads
• Hand-painted pixel-art medieval visual style — 128×128 tower sprites, dusk flag colors
• 60 hand-tuned stages with branching path templates
• 20 achievements across 5 categories
• Star economy — earn up to 3 stars per stage, spend at the Bastion Armory
• Rewarded video ads (optional, user-initiated)
• Original pixel-march battle soundtrack (AI-composed, 90-second seamless loops)
