Your market keepers

Choose a keeper, then tap a courtyard tile

YOUR VIEW OF THE MARKET

Make room to play.

Keep the current layout, or fit the board beside your stalls and upgrades. Your game progress stays the same.

100% fits the whole board. Larger sizes allow scrolling for detail. On narrow screens the controls sit below the board. Original view keeps its own Zoom setting. Your view is saved on this browser.

 A QUIETER KIND OF MARKET

Settle into the night.

Your night-market music plays normally. When an elder arrives, its own looping theme takes over until the encounter is over.

Sound is on by default. If your browser blocks autoplay, your first tap starts the music. Your mute and volume settings are saved.

 A NIGHT AT THE MARKET

Guide them into the light.

There are 50 levels, each with a fixed winding walkway. Level 1 has three waves from one gate; later levels introduce the second gate and longer wave sets.

  1. Place your keepers. Start with an empty market and 100 coins. The market light and oil depot have fixed locations. Place your own lanterns and support stalls; the starter layout is optional.
  2. Learn the pavement. Each level has its own fixed winding route. Place keepers beside the pavement and keep delivery corridors clear.
  3. Combine your keepers. Lanterns clear gloom, tea slows, drums hold attention, and chimes calm groups. Drums do not change the level route.
  4. Watch the cat. It walks slowly along its own clear delivery paths from the depot to hungry lanterns. Depot upgrades do not change its speed. Select a lantern to prioritize its refill.
  5. Grow between waves. Deliveries and oil production stop between waves. Move keepers or open Upgrades, then start the next wave.

Escaping creatures dim the beacon. Keep it glowing through the final wave to finish the level. Pause whenever you like.

On a phone, landscape gives you more room. Zoom + enlarges the board. With a keyboard, use arrows and Enter on the courtyard, and Escape to cancel.

 A FRESH START

Restart with an empty market?

All placed stalls and this level’s upgrades are removed. Begin at wave 1 with a fully defended beacon and the initial oil supply. Your campaign coins and best defense score are kept.
