# PokeBonk Game (pokebonkgame.io)

> Play PokeBonk free in your browser: a 3D Pokémon survivor fan game by Charcher (released 2026-10-14). pokebonkgame.io loads the game instantly, with a player guide to starters, modes, level-up cards and quick fixes.

## How to play
1. Press Play as a guest: No account needed. Your progress is saved to the device you play on, and you can turn it into an account later.
2. Pick your partner: Choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle. Your partner attacks on its own, so you focus on moving. The other two unlock later through their challenges.
3. Choose a mode: Classic takes you through zones to a final shrine. Survival is an endless horde that tests how long you last.
4. Move, dodge, collect: Use WASD or the arrow keys to stay out of the crowd and pick up experience as enemies fall.
5. Level up and choose a card: Each level offers upgrade cards: a new move, a stronger move, or a vitamin that boosts a stat.

## Starters
- Bulbasaur (Grass · Poison, Healer): passive Synthesis. +1.5 regeneration and +25% healing. Your Grass attacks heal you a little on every hit (0.4% of HP, up to 5 times per second). Starting attack: Vine Whip.
- Charmander (Fire, Fiery Assault): passive Sea of Flames. +10% Fire damage, and +40% damage while your HP is below 40%. Starting attack: Ember.
- Squirtle (Water, Defender): passive Torrent Shell. +15 armor and +20 shield, plus +40% damage while your HP is below 40%. Starting attack: Water Gun.

## Modes
- Classic: Fight through zones, beat each guardian and reach the shrine. Runs have an end and a win screen.
- Survival: An endless horde with milestones along the way. The goal is simple: last as long as you can.

## Current event
- Season 2 and Lavender Tower Night (October 21 – November 4, 2026): Season 2 is the biggest update yet: two new maps, new bosses with their own mechanics, more fusions and fresh leaderboards.
