Chest

Chests are a vital part of the Loot Phase.

Chest Mechanics
Chests spawn randomly during the Loot Phase.

To open a chest, the player must move adjacent to it and tap it repeatedly to force it open. The player then recieves randomly determined loot, as explained below.

When a chest spawns, the type of chest is determined randomly (see Chest Types below).

Alpha
Number of chests spawned each round = 5.

Loot
The chests contain one of the following types of loot, determined randomly when opening the chest.

Treasure
Treasures are valuables that "just" increase your score.

Equipment
Equipment are upgrades which increase the player's statistics.

Whenever a chest contains equipment there is a 10% chance that the chest gives two upgrades instead of one.

Gems
Gems are used to permanently upgrade your characters between games.

Items
Items is the fourth type of loot that chests will probably contain in the future.

Chest Types
The different types of chests are as follows: The different chest types have the following statistics:
 * Spawn % - The chance of any given chest spawned being this kind of chest.
 * Taps – How many taps it takes to open a chest of this kind.
 * Value – A modifier which applies in the formula for determining gold from this chest.
 * Treasure – Chance of being treasure.
 * Gear – Chance of being gear.
 * Items – Chance of being items.
 * Gems – Chance of being gems.

Pre-alpha/alpha
During the alpha development, any time a chest would give items, it gives treasure instead.
