The Select a Mission screen is the central hub where players can choose from a variety of missions, each offering unique challenges and gameplay styles. This screen is divided into three key sections: Dr. Droog Campaign, Puzzle Missions, and Classic Missions. Each section provides a different type of experience, ranging from story-driven campaigns to time-tested classic levels.
Please note the golden arrows that direct you at the top or bottom of the screen when there is more to scroll in that direction to see!
Dr. Droog Campaign #

- Limited Chips and Cycles: Players are given a restricted set of chips to work with, as well as a limited number of cycles to complete the objectives.
- Objective-Based: Each Puzzle Mission has specific objectives, such as collecting items or avoiding enemies, with additional rewards for efficiency—completing the task with fewer chips or cycles.
- Seasonal Variants: Some Puzzle Missions are seasonal and change periodically, offering new and rotating challenges for players to enjoy.
