About P.I.L.E.
Drop pieces to complete rows and load your turret. Spend your action points preparing shots, moving between lanes, and firing through approaching robots. End your turn when you’re ready for the enemy response—but keep their attacks from reaching the city.
Clear rows. Load your turret.
Set up cascading clears to load more ammunition, or clear blue cubes to build the shields you need to hold a dangerous lane. Shape your next move with the pieces you place.
Line them up. Let it rip.
Line up several enemies and send one powerful shot through them. Fire to stop an immediate threat, or hold your nerve and prepare a heavier hit.
Hold the line.
Read enemy intentions and choose where to stand. Move aside to dodge a turret attack, hold a threatened lane to intercept fire aimed at the city, or shoot down a missile before it arrives.
Upgrade your turret. Change your strategy.
Split your shot into three spreading beams, bounce remaining damage between enemies, or deploy mines on their approach. Spend scrap between levels on upgrades and powerups, choosing combinations that work together and managing their trade-offs.
Fight through enemy waves toward a siege boss. Runs can earn permanent card unlocks, adding new upgrades and powerups to future shop offers.
Prepare. Intercept. Load. Eliminate.
