Bone Season

You're the fire. They're the bones.

Clear the map of skeletons — thin the horde and the boss rises on the far right of the map, beside the portal. Drop it and step through to the next season as summer rots into autumn and freezes into winter. Then it all begins again, meaner. Survive as long as you can and stack up the score.

Tip: don't cross the yellow line while fighting the boss, or it'll heal itself.
