In Fortress of Elements, your mission is to defend your Main Castle from waves of relentless enemies spawning from Enemy Spawners.

How to Play

 Objectives:

- Defend your Main Castle by placing and upgrading Towers on the map.

- Eliminate enemies to earn Gold.

- Upgrade towers to harness the powers of Neutral, Fire, Water, and Air elements.

- Survive as many waves as possible while achieving the highest score.

Basic Mechanics:

- Towers: Place towers strategically to attack and eliminate enemies. Towers can be upgraded with Gold to improve their damage, range, and attack speed. Towers can also be infused with elemental powers for special effects.
- Gold: Earn Gold by killing enemies. Spend it wisely to build new towers, upgrade existing ones, or enhance towers with elemental powers.

- Skill Tree: Upgrade abilities in the Skill Tree using Gold. These skills provide powerful benefits that enhance your towers, increase resource gains, and improve survivability.

- Waves: Enemies arrive in waves, with increasing numbers, health, and strength. Stay ahead of the difficulty curve by planning your defenses carefully.

- Score: Your score reflects the number of enemies killed and waves survived. Compete to reach the top score!
