Defense priorities

  1. 1

    Know your largest body

    Dark stars target the largest planet, so keep track of its position before pressure begins.

  2. 2

    Scan between drops

    Use the moment after a stable merge to check the board edge for a threat.

  3. 3

    Tap before detonation

    The verified counter is direct tapping. Delaying risks losing the body that holds the most merge value.

  4. 4

    Lower the strength to learn

    Use the three enemy strength settings as a progression ladder rather than adding maximum pressure immediately.

What enemy mode does not change

The core match-two evolution chain remains the foundation. Enemy mode adds attention pressure; it does not replace planning, fuse management, or board-space control.

The official page does not publish enemy health, spawn intervals, or strength multipliers. Those values are intentionally absent here.

Frequently asked questions

Is enemy mode required?

No. The developer describes enemy mode as optional.

How many enemy strengths are there?

There are three selectable strengths.

What do dark stars attack?

They hunt the largest planet on the disk and can detonate it if they are not tapped down.
