Welcome to Pathland!
The snakes don't have any fingers and are unable to click even a single button.
With your advanced button clicking skills you can unleash limitless waves of minions to help the snakes achieve their goal of total Pathland domination!
The snakes are weak but they help fund your button clicking by collecting ruples.
Invade, destroy, repeat.
This is an Idle/Incremental Tower-Offense game.
As an Idle game it will progress without much input.
As an Incremental game the invaders will get stronger as more buttons are clicked.
As a Tower-Offense game your objective is to destroy as many defenders as possible.
At the end of each level is a settlement. Each settlement is the home of at least one Hero that needs vanquishing before you can proceed. When all the vanquishing is done the settlement collapses and the next level becomes available. Towers and Heroes get stronger as you progress.
Bosses are very powerful allies with unique abilities. Only one boss can be active at a time. With your new boss leadership you also have some additional control over the minions. There is an Advanced Tactics option in the Minions tab; this will keep minions at the begining of the path until they have reached capacity or a boss is summoned.
Select Boss To Summon determines which boss will be summoned next.
Boss Position determines how far the Boss should try to move.
Active Ability button will activate your current bosses active ability.
This is also where you manage your inventory.
Effects from equipped items are applied at deployment and are applied even if there isn't an active boss.
The checkboxes next to the item types filter which items are displayed in the inventory list.
The button with the lock icon (🔓/🔒) can lock/unlock an item. Items that are Locked and/or Equipped cannot be sold.
When a Minion's spawn pool fills up the minions are automatically sent to the barracks to await deployment.
When the barracks is ready the next squad is deployed. Deploy times increase based on how far you are along the path.
You can view your active minions, spawn pools, and baracks in the Minions tab.
Different types of minions have different size squads. You have a limited number of Active Squads.
Clear Baracks removes all minions currently in the baracks to make space for some new minions.
Sacrifice Deployed Minions removes all currently deployed minions to make space for some new minions.

Cycles counts the game-time for the data-set.
Deploy Count counts the number of each unit type that was deployed, summoned, built, etc.
Damage Done counts actual damage done. It takes into account any damage reduction and does not count damage done over the targets current health.

When you accomplish a feat, such as regrouping the required amount, you earn bonuses for different parts of the game.
Feats are cumulative and track your progress. They also give various bonuses to different aspects of the game.
Each time a feat reaches Level 12 the level resets and the rank increases. The feat score is twelve times the rank plus the Level (12R+L). Your overall score the sum of all feat scores times 100 plus the current level's percent complete.
Each feat bonus is based on the rank and level. The feat bonus (FB) is three times the rank plus the level (3R+L).

Here are some miscelanious game mechanics and information.
You found the help tab help section that helps explain the help tab! I refer to the items in the left menu as tabs.
The help tab has information about the game and what effects clicking different buttons have. Each tab also has a blue help button to show the relevant help information for that tab.
A few years ago I set out to find an Idle Tower-Offense game; I couldn't find one so I decided to make one. Between family, work, and everything else I would brush off my trusty text editor and push some buttons now and again.
I wanted to get back to basics and avoid extra library bloat, as such this entire project was written in vanilla javascript with basic text editors (mostly notepad++). I don't know much about chiaroscuro shading so the game elements are drawn with basic HTML5 canvas shapes instead of pre-rendered assets. As a result the whole game is data friendly at under 500kB (0.0005GB) and does not need an internet connection after the initial load.
I hope you like it, but if not take your button clicks elsewhere or contact with suggestions. I will respond as life allows.

Many browsers slow processing on background tabs and windows which can reduce the game speed, this should catch you up (up to 1 hour).
Reducing the Quality or hiding the map in the Options tab can speed up the catch-up timer.
Reloading the page will clear the remaining catch-up timer.
