This defense game makes positioning important: removing an ogre involves knocking it into the void.

Movement speed and punching force address different problems. Pick according to the threats you are struggling to handle.
Playing tips
- Leave yourself room to move around the ring instead of getting trapped beside an attacker.
- If a punch does not clear the platform, adjust your angle before trying the same approach.
- Watch the next threat while deciding on an upgrade; the choice should support how you are defending.

Protecting a central object offers a different focus from simply chasing every enemy.
