Tall Grass
About this game
Every blade of tall grass hides something: a shard, a heart or a monster. Trample it and find out. Cleared tiles reveal how many monsters lurk in the eight tiles around them, so every step is a read as much as a gamble. The gate opens before the field is cleared: leave with what you have or push deeper for the shards and upgrades you'll need when the Pumpking wakes. One thumb, one verb, fully turn-based, nothing happens until you move, so there are no reflexes to fail.
How to play
Tap or swipe to step one tile or use the arrow keys / WASD or mouse click. Tall grass hides shards, hearts and monsters. Stepping on it cuts it down. A number on a cleared tile counts the hidden monsters in the eight tiles around it. Step into a woken monster to strike it. It strikes back if it survives. Every 4 shards, choose a boon. Fill the shard bar to open the gate then decide whether to leave or keep going.
