At the end of a wave you will get a chance to upgrade features on your players, including health, speed, and weapons!  You can upgrade each aspect twice.

Balance

The game is about balancing light vs dark.  The balance bar meter at bottom of screen represents your real time balance between the light and dark.

The Axe Player represents a darkness affinity.  The Axe Player is slower and has limited range, but and has more health and swings more frequently.

The Bow Player represents a light affinity.  The Bow Player is faster of foot, and has longer range, but is weaker in health and fires less frequent.

It's all about balance! ;)

There are dark enemies and light enemies.

Darkness attacking Light gets a bonus, and Light attacking Dark as well.

At the end of a wave of enemies, you get bonus points for managing the balance between Light and Dark represented by the Balance Bar UI on the bottom of the screen.

If your balance gets off enough, you will receive a warning from the game that you need to adjust.

Balance is controlled by 3 things:

1. Active Player Kills
2. Picking up drops (light or dark)
3. Affinity Bonus
