About Clonk

Clonk is a two-player shareware title blending strategy and action. Its core objective across thirty procedurally generated levels is the elimination of a specific opponent unit, the captain, who leads a team of small humanoid creatures.

Gameplay complexity escalates as rounds progress, introducing environmental and interactive elements. These include weather phenomena like rain and thunderstorms, which can trigger wildfires, as well as hostile monsters. Players gain access to tools such as throwable rocks and explosive flints, along with structures like catapults and healing castles. An economic layer exists where collected gold nuggets can be traded to recruit additional crew members.
