Burrow Brawler

Defeat twenty enemies, then reach the ladder ↟ at the top right within 48 actions. Tap an adjacent square or use arrows. Bumping an enemy defeats its entire connected same-symbol group without moving you. A chain of three or more restores one lantern charge, capped at three.

Swarm ● attacks cost one health. Armor ◆ costs two unless its group has at least three. A lone flame ▲ costs two; larger flame groups cost one. Prepare shield spends one charge AND one action to block up to two damage on your next attack. Or save that charge to dig through adjacent rock ■. Potion + restores up to three health. Attack previews list the actual health cost below.

Every third action an enemy arrives at the visible ↓ marker, unless you occupy or fill its square. New arrivals changes that sequence; Retry repeats it. Empty movement, digging, potions, attacks and shield preparation all advance the arrival clock. Invalid taps spend nothing.
