Raise your shield.  Embrace the dungeons.

Every time you play, the rooms are different: different enemies, different layouts, different trap placements, different events, different treasure. You never know what lies ahead.

Archers, fire mages, conductors, zaeries, ogres, leapers... Slay them before they slay you. You can fully block their attacks with your shield, but it's easier said than done.

Spikes, poison skulls, pinwheels... Trap damage isn't blockable, so don't get hit.

Hydras, mechanical nightmares, ferocious felines, flag capturing... Sharpen your skills to survive.

Hearts, coins, keys, souls, potions, rocket launchers, katanas, grenades, flamethrowers, ice wands, emerald daggers... Every weapon has a unique mechanic, giving you a choice of how to tackle your current situation. Collect all the weapons or die trying.

Tallowmere is easy to learn but hard to master:

1. Block enemy attacks with your shield
2. Strike when you have the advantage
3. Avoid traps
4. Collect loot
5. Spend souls to increase stats
6. Try not to die

You can take a few hits, but fail to block enough and you're done.. Learn how things work and you'll hopefully make it farther next time.

Tallowmere features a high-score system so you can track your greatest efforts.
