Interface

## Playerlist

At the top left there will be a list of players in your current game.
You can hide/show the player list with the 'tab' button.
The Playerlist shows the level, steam profile avatar, name, color, networth, lives, elements and number of creeps left of the current wave for each player.

## Wave Preview

The wave preview at the middle top shows the current and the next wave: creep element + abilities and the current wave number.
If not in Chaos mode you can freely preview the next and previous waves elements and abilities.

## Player Status

The player status overview at the top right shows info about yourself.
At the top in the green bar it shows the number of lives you got left. With each creep you leak (aka it reaches the end of the maze) you lose one life.
At the left you see your number of income picks and your current income.
At the right you see your current gold.
More about income and gold in the Gold article.
At the bottom you see your element picks and your essences - more about that in the Elements article.
Below that you see the number of used tower slots and the total number of tower slots available on the map (except for coop/team mode this is equal to the buildable squares).

## Damage Table

Shows the damage your towers deal.
Current shows the damage dealt for each tower in the current wave.
Previous shows the damage dealt for each tower in the previous wave, this usually is a good display to check after a  Composite wave to see how your damage is split (because all towers deal the same damage and theres no element bonuses/maluses).
Total shows the total damage done by all towers over the whole game.

## Building Bar

Allows you to quickly build the base composite, base element, the period tower and access to the whole tower overview, from which you can directly build any tower.

## Timer and Multiplier

Shows how much time you're in the game and the score multiplier.

## Game Speed Setting

This is shown above the minimap and allows to set the game speed.
This is only available in offline singleplayer - multiplayer is always in x1 game speed or x2 if Turbo Mode is enabled.

## Minimap

Shows all players maze, their towers, their creeps and their builder position.
You can always press F2 (default hotkey) to center view to your builder.

## Wave Timer

Shown at the center top, it shows the time until the next wave spawns.
The next wave spawns for **everyone** usually 3 seconds after **any** player in the game cleared the current wave - so if theres someone clearing his wave exceptionally fast expect some time pressure.
If Extreme Mode is enabled the next wave will spawn 5 seconds after the current wave has fully spawned.

## Game Mode

This shows the Game Settings of your current game.
You can always display this by pressing escape to open the menu, it will be shown at the right above the minimap.

## Element Picker

Pops up at the center bottom, above the Building Bar when an element pick is available (at the start of the game and each 5 waves).
Allows you to choose an element or extra income or essence.
Simply click any button to pick that element/income/essence.
If you accidently click it away, you can still trigger your pick at the top right in the Player Status hud element.
