Bao Tao

Bao Tao is a turn-based tactical puzzle game. You play as a ronin Bao who travels through the lands of Catugawa on his quest to reach the capital and warn everyone about the impending demon invasion.

He is pursued by the demon hounds, and each time they catch up with Bao, ronin loses some of his health fighting. 

How to Play

Your path to the capital is made up of many locations marked by white circles. You travel by clicking on the next destination. How far Bao can travel per turn is limited by his food supply. For any journey longer than 1 location, Bao loses food. When his food supply runs out, ronin loses 1 HP at the end of his turn.

Location Types

There are several location types in the game:

1. Tavern. Allows to replenish food supply and heal HP
2. Village. You can earn karma points by helping locals to organize a defense against demons. By this, you can also weaken demons that pursue Bao.
3. Temple allows you to heal a number of HP or create a save point where you can respawn if killed later.

Blank locations have no effect.

Demon Hounds

Damon Hounds follow Bao each turn, except when they are on cooldown. Each time Demon Hounds emerge, their stats are randomized, depending on how much loot they have collected before being killed. 

Demon Hounds gain loot when they pass villages that are not protected. 

They lose loot after respawning
