Place
Zen Wars offers a multitude of weapons for you to destroy your enemy, whether you opt for the inexpensive standard cannon that can destroy a wall piece per shot, or one of the more exotic weapons such as the laser cannon, which destroys everything along its path, including your own walls! Whatever your style, Zen Wars has the weapons for you. Don’t place too many cannons though, or you might just run out of space for your repairs.
Choose your Weapon
Pick a weapon to place by dragging it off the weapon menu.
Place it
Weapons can be placed on any area you surround.
Place Wisely
Special weapons can wreak havoc, and even blow up your own walls!
Fire!
Use your cannons to destroy Lord Evilz’ army. You’ll be facing huns, warriors, giant pandas, and maybe even Lord Evilz himself! Your firing time is limited, so choose carefully at what you shoot, every shot counts! Take on “friends” in multiplayer mode and blow holes in their fortifications to ensure their demise.
Complete a level by reaching the victory conditions. This can be anything from surviving 12 rounds of onslaught to blowing up all bridges that Lord Evilz has set up across a river. Your statistics are tracked to show you how well you’re doing.
Aim
Firing couldn’t be simpler: Tap where you want your shot to land. Aim ahead of your moving foes!
Cannons
The more cannons you have, the more you can fire, but the less space you have for repairs.
Reload Indicator
When the indicator is red your cannons are reloading, when it is yellow, fire at will!
Repair
While you were busy firing at the enemy, he fired back… Don’t worry though, you have time repair your walls using the provided wall repair pieces. Position them carefully to fully surround at least one of your castles. The more castles you surround, the more cannon building points you’ll receive to place new and better cannons. Be careful, you only have a limited time to repair your walls. Fail, and one of your 3 lives will be lost.
Repair Tool
Drag the piece to the gap you want to fill, tap to place it. Swipe the rotation band to rotate the piece.
Time Limit
Repair time is limited, at least one castle needs to be fully surrounded before the time runs out.
Expand
The more castles you surround, the more cannon building points you get.
