What do I control in BONK!?

Only the hammer's column. It strikes automatically when a row reaches the strike line.

When the Audience reaches 0. Escaped moles cost Audience; chains win it back.

About 15 minutes for a full show, about 10 for a short show.

Beginner's guide

Your first run

Pick the Sunny Fairground: it has no extra rule. The run opens with a free first pick. Your first 2 runs offer Wide Head, Tesla and Bomb, three pieces that start chains on their own; after that the three cards (a hammer, a special mole and a wildcard) are drawn at random from everything you have unlocked, so every run starts differently. Take the piece that chains with what you already like.

Move the hammer to the column whose next hole holds a mole, or better, a special mole surrounded by normals. The hammer BONKs by itself when the row reaches the line.

Keep the crowd

Every escape costs Audience, and specials cost more. Do not chase one far mole if it lets two escape. Chains win the Audience back, so a board full of moles is good news.

Momentum multiplies the score; it climbs while you keep hitting.

Build your machine

At each level up pick a new piece or a level for one you own. At Level 2 a piece mutates or takes a chemistry recipe. Prizes come at each arc. Then the boss: read its page before the fight.
