Know your island.

Moorlet combines a card-built island, village management and tower defence. You place useful terrain and monster nests on the same island, then prepare your people for the night.

• A run is endless. It ends when the home falls or every villager is lost.
• Three main activities repeat: plan at dawn, work by day, defend at night. Dusk is a short transition into combat.

Build a reliable food supply, gather wood and stone, then create homes and overlapping defences. A growing village earns more coins, but also needs more food and safe beds.

• A watchtower needs a villager inside. An archer post fires on its own.
• Keep curse positions in mind while expanding. Cleansing helps, but its price grows and the ritual can be dangerous.

Each part of the day changes what matters most: your island layout, your workforce, safe shelter, then the fight.

• Dawn: normally draw three cards. Place or sell the entire hand before daylight begins. There is no planning countdown.
• Day: 75 seconds of work, plus 10 seconds per 20 tiles added to the starting island. Long light adds another 20 seconds.
• Dusk: 5 seconds for villagers to reach shelters. Miners stay safely below the island.
• Night: monsters emerge from active curses. The night has a 55-second upper limit.

• At dawn each empty vein independently has a 45% chance to refill. Gold is converted directly into coins.

Mine with a villager in an accessible chamber.

• 2 iron per completed mining action; 5 actions before depletion. Base work time: 4.5 seconds per action.

Mine with a villager in an accessible chamber.

• 1 crystals per completed mining action; 2 actions before depletion. Base work time: 7 seconds per action.

Mine with a villager in an accessible chamber.

• 6 coins per completed mining action; 3 actions before depletion. Base work time: 5 seconds per action.

Mine with a villager in an accessible chamber.

• 1 mithril per completed mining action; 3 actions before depletion. Base work time: 9 seconds per action.

The first chamber reached through the shaft.

• Required shaft level: 1. Contains iron vein, crystal cluster.

Clear the rubble to open this chamber after upgrading the mine.

• Required shaft level: 2. Contains iron vein, gold vein, crystal cluster.

Clear the rubble to open this chamber after upgrading the mine.

• Required shaft level: 3. Contains mithril vein, crystal cluster, gold vein.

Every normal day begins with three cards. From day 2, a normal hand includes one compulsory curse card; blessings can create exceptions. Decks cover five days.

• Land cards cost coins. Sell an unwanted land card for 1 coin. Curse cards are free and cannot be discarded.
• Place along the island edge. Narrow arms have a length limit; widen them if the preview rejects an extension.
• A new curse type is introduced in the hand on its unlock day.

Placement points reward how your island fits together. The preview shows the score before you commit. Side neighbours count; diagonal contact does not merge areas.

• Base placement points equal the size of the joined same-type area, including the new tile.
• Fill a bay touching land on 3 sides: +2. Fill a gap touching 4 sides: +4. Each neighbouring curse: −2; the final score cannot go below zero.
• Wheat field + Pond: +2.
• Flowers + Meadow: +2.
• Flowers + Wheat field: +2.
• Flowers + Hill: +2.
• Forest + Hill: +1.
• Forest + Mountain: +1.
• Rocks + Mountain: +2.
• Pond + Beach: +1.
• Pond + Meadow: +1.
• Hill + Meadow: +1.
• Beach: +1 for each side facing the sea. Curses give no placement points.

Each villager eats 3 food at dawn: fish first, then wheat. A full meal restores their health. More villagers help your economy only if you can feed them.

• Hungry villagers lose half of maximum health, but starvation alone leaves at least 1 health. They pay no tax.
• Base dawn taxes: 2 coins + 1 coin for each fed villager. Merchants adds 2 coins per villager per reward taken.
• Manna reduces the daily food need to 2 per villager.

At dusk, villagers head for homes or staffed watchtowers. Miners remain safe underground. Beds protect your people while outside villagers may have to fight.

• Home and normal house beds by level: 2 / 3 / 4. Big house beds: 6 / 7 / 8.
• Building a house adds a villager. More people mean more work, taxes and food demand.

Normal buildings require an empty Open land tile. Villagers do the construction work; the listed work time does not include walking to the site. A mine is the special mountain-only exception.

• Each existing building of the same type raises the next price: houses and watchtowers ×1.2; storehouses ×1.4; shrines ×1.5; monuments ×1.6; other types ×1.4.
• Crystal costs rise by 1 per existing building instead of multiplying. Prices are rounded. A merged big house counts as two houses.
• Some buildings need both a day threshold and an earlier building, terrain or population. All conditions must be met.

Most buildings and the home can reach level 3. The forge has no level upgrade. Upgrades are paid and instant during the day, and need no extra land. Two completed level-1 houses side by side can become a big house.

• Upgrade costs are fixed; adding more buildings does not raise these costs. Level bonuses differ by building.
• Damaged buildings can be repaired with resources and villager work. Inspect the building for its current repair cost.
• Home upgrade costs: level 2 — 10 wood, 10 stone, 10 coins; level 3 — 16 wood, 16 stone, 20 coins. Home health grows by 40 per level before bonuses.

Cleansing is a paid ritual carried out by a villager. It removes a monster nest and turns its tile into flowers. Some curse types also leave loot.

• Base tile ritual costs are multiplied by 1.3 and rounded. Add 4 coins for each previous cleanse in the run. A holy well discounts the result.
• Ritual death risk: swamp 10%; shipwreck and graveyard 15%; crater and spider den 20%; frost rift 25%; dark portal 30%. A nearby shrine halves it; Blessed rituals removes it.
• Cleansing points: 25 + 5 × ceil(day / 5), so 30 on days 1–5.

Not every curse waits for your placement. From roughly day 6, a wild curse can break out of the hand and crash onto an automatically chosen spot, marked in red.

• Wild curse events recur roughly every 4–6 days. They are part of the curse-card system, not an extra land card you can sell.
• Old curses can act at dawn: at most one spread and one fire per dawn. Buildings protect their tiles from these conversions; shrines stop nearby spreading.

Harvesting changes the island. Wheat regrows on a timer; large connected resource areas replenish at dawn. Monster traffic can also blight fields.

• 9 or more connected forest, rock or mountain tiles renew each dawn.
• Wheat: 60 seconds to regrow, 30 alongside a pond. A blighted field gives nothing for 3 days.
• Empty underground veins each have a 45% chance to refill at dawn.

Difficulty grows through the size of the wave, tougher individual monsters and new curse types. The day forecast uses the same plan as the night spawns.

• No active nests means no wave. Otherwise the wave budget grows with the day and number of nests, capped at 50 shares. This is not a cap of 50 creatures: spiders, variants and splits alter the creature count.
• Monster health multiplier: 1.045^(day−1). Bite multiplier: 1.018^(day−1). Listed bestiary values are base stats before these day bonuses.
• New curses: graveyard day 6, shipwreck 10, spider den 16, crater 22, frost rift 30, dark portal 40.

Different enemies pressure the village in different ways. Defence mixes direct hits, area damage, slowing, stuns, decoys and villager combat.

• Scarecrows attract attacks first. Spike traps and thorn hedges are walked over rather than attacked as normal buildings.
• Skeletons revive once. Big slimes and spider mothers split into smaller enemies. Captains can phase through arrows; armoured enemies reduce incoming damage.
• Frost slows villagers for 3 seconds; mithril mail prevents this. Healing enemies recover after a short period without hits.

Basic storage holds 15 of each capped resource. Storehouses add capacity separately for every resource, so a full wood store does not use up room for food.

• Wood, stone, wheat, fish and iron are capped. Coins, crystals and mithril are uncapped.
• Storehouse bonus by level: +25 / +50 / +80 per resource.

Inspect a tile, villager or building to see actions. The build menu and in-game catalogue expose more details as you play.

• 1–9 selects a card; R rotates a card or building; Q / E turns the camera; + / − zooms; H centres the island; B opens the build menu; M mutes; P pauses.
• On touch, the first tap previews a card placement; a second tap on the same spot confirms.
• The current build has 5 local save slots. Save slots and the profile live in this browser; they are not a cloud-sync promise. Catalogue discoveries and achievements are kept separately from island saves.

On days 10, 20, 30 and beyond, choose one of three rewards. At least one option is defensive, and capped rewards stop appearing when maxed.

• Persistent bonuses stack in the current run. Supply crates and treasure chests grow with the milestone number.

Blessings are one-off purchases lasting the current run. Pay with unspent placement points and crystals; the temple level must meet the blessing tier.

• Each purchased blessing raises the next blessing’s star price by 20% of its base price. Star costs round to the nearest 10; crystal costs do not rise.
• Spent stars reduce available currency, not total earned score.
