Open the game and tap How to play in the menu — nine steps in 14 languages.
In short: tap a shape to place the scissors, then steer the stick on the lower half of the screen to cut along the outline. The closer to the line and the faster you finish, the stronger the unit; stray too far and the paper tears. Finish the loop and the unit waits at your castle — pick a lane, then press Send army. Break the enemy castle to win.
Tap directly on a lane in the battlefield strip (upper half of the screen). The chosen lane is drawn as a solid line instead of a dashed one, and the button below changes to *Send army · Lane 2*. Your waiting units move to that lane straight away — if they do not move, the tap did not register, so try tapping closer to the lane line.
A cut that strays too far produces nothing usable. Easy adds line-following assist and slower scissors and is very hard to fail — at the cost of weaker units. Move up to Hard once your hand is steady.
Tap Play online on the main screen. You can Create room — the server gives you a 4-character code to read to a friend — or tap an open room in the list to join at once.
An empty room deletes itself after 60 seconds, so call your friend before you create one.
In an online match your pushed troops enter the field a few seconds later so both devices stay in step. Cutting stays instant. If your opponent loses connection the screen says *waiting*; after 20 seconds they forfeit.
The match against the computer needs no network and is unaffected.
Strength comes from how closely you followed the outline and how fast you finished. Accuracy is the larger share, but a slow cut yields a weak unit however neat it looks.
Cut a mage and it escorts the strongest unit of the same wave, adding healing, armour and damage to that one unit — the ink line between them shows the buff is live. The mana bar is the mage's lifespan: when it empties, the mage is gone.
