Build a Dino Defense Guides
Short routes for the first waves, the buttons, the buy order, the boss cards, and the Royal Egg. Every price below is on a screenshot on this site.
Buttons
Build a Dino Defense Controls
Every control this page names is a word on a screenshot. If a button is not in that set, it was not on the HUD we recorded.
Buy order
Build a Dino Defense Progression
Spend in the order the headers unlock. The shop's thousands and the Elite Trap's hundred-thousands come after the index, not before it.
Later waves
Build a Dino Defense Advanced Guide

Boss order
Build a Dino Defense Boss Order
The order is the wave printed on the card. Mini-bosses are the gold MINI BOSS headers. Bosses are the red BOSS headers.
Royal Egg
Build a Dino Defense Royal Egg
