About Tower Moon Game
Some wedding. The prince has been carried off by a dragon, and Moonlandia’s rescue party is waiting for orders. In Tower Moon, you stay with the map and decide where that party goes. There is no sword button to hold down. You buy recruits, pick something worth reaching and send them out. The soldiers have rather splendid helmets; those will not make the decisions for you.
The first job is wonderfully small. Buy one unit, click a basket of food, then press Go. It is tempting to ignore the basket and head for the prince’s sign, but the tutorial has a reason for sending you shopping first. You have just spent your starting food on that recruit. Watch the numbers on the right after the trip and the resource system starts to make sense. From there, the campaign map opens up more missions. Before each order, have a look at the road, the things on it and the troops you can afford. A short route can still be a poor choice for the party you have bought.
How to Play Tower Moon Game
Plan the army’s actions, gather what it needs and get past the obstacles on the way to the prince.
- Choose Play and follow or skip the introduction. Select the first available mission on the campaign map.
- Read the tutorial panel before buying a recruit. The first mission points out the unit shop on the right.
- Click a target on the map. In the opening lesson, select the food basket after recruiting the first unit.
- Press Go to send the army towards the chosen target. Check the outcome and the resource counters before choosing another order.
- Work through the remaining tutorial prompts. Use what they show you when the route introduces a different obstacle.

Tips for a better round
- Read the price before recruiting. That first unit uses the starting food allowance, so the basket on the road is worth your attention.
- Check which target you selected before sending the party. Clicking Go is a commitment to that order, not a request for the game to pick a route for you.
- When a plan fails, change the plan. Look back at the obstacle and the available recruits before buying the same party again.
