About the Game

AN ONLINE CO-OP TOWER DEFENSE

The 17 colonies of Exo-Planet W4-V35 are under attack! Can you survive all 17.waves?

Assemble up to 4 friends online and defend each base from the incoming alien hordes. You must work together to collect coins, gather resources, and build/maintain your towers.

PROTECT THE COLONY

An alien threat -- Alien bugs are marching to your base! Learn their paths and make a plan.

Build towers -- Choose from a variety of tower types, and position them for maximum effectiveness.

WORK TOGETHER

Find your role -- Specialize each team member with 1 of 7 unique upgrades. Like Fleet Foot, Lode Lorde, or Overclock!

Mine resources -- Towers consume energy and need constant upkeep. Gather up and input resources to keep them operational.

FORTIFY YOUR DEFENSES

Gather coins -- Everything costs money! Coins are dropped by enemies, and will disappear if you don't get to them soon.

Upgrade -- Upgrade existing towers to improve damage and help fend off late-stage enemies.

Know Before You Buy

17.waves uses a hosted join code connection system. Meaning there is no lobby for players to search for a game to join. One player will host and provide a unique code to others.
