Merry Christmas with a secret mission!
Objectives
- Keep at least 1 present.
- Eliminate 7 uber creatures.
Settings
The beach wolf spider must protect its Christmas presents from the greedy ants. You don't have access to the surface.
The nearby chimney spawns a cookie every 60 seconds. Cookies give 20 food. New cookie doesn't appear if the previous one isn't eaten or if the attacking wave hasn't been defeated in time.
There are 30 presents beneath the Christmas tree. The presents quickly teleport back to the starting area after the gatherers are dead. They give 15 food.
You can only play this level by clicking on the present in the main menu, which appears from December 2nd to January 30th.
Tower building
The playable spider gains the ability to build towers using its own health. You must choose an option in the building tabs then click on any parts of the excavated area to mark it for building. You can click again to cancel the task. You can't build towers near spawners. You must have at least 25 HP higher than the cost to build or upgrade.
You must choose the upgrading tool in the building tabs then click on the chosen tile to mark it for upgrading. Upgrading cost increases by 50% of the original cost after each upgrade. Towers are fully healed and repopulated when they are upgraded.
You have access to both mortar and rapid-fire wood ant shooters, both taunt and stun leafcutter ant majors, funnel-web spiders and large whip spiders.
Notable enemies
Enemies are on the same side. Enemies are powerscaled and have high slow resistance in later waves.
Enemies enter the underground area through 3 spawners (L, M and R). They gather near their spawners for a short time before moving toward the starting area.
Gathering waves will gather any food on the way and leave through the middle spawner. They wander around if they can't find anything to take. They can't attack.
Attacking waves will pursue you after reaching the starting area. Incoming attacking waves will be on hold as long as the uber creatures are still alive.
