Joe Shmuck is down on his luck, and the only way to keep his job is by taking on Big Business. Bad Mechanic is a whimsical tower defense game that slowly becomes a bullet hell as you’re forced to dodge your own towers' attacks.

Dodge the unpredictable attacks of your own towers to collect enemy loot before it disappears. Use items and abilities to pick up cash while evading demons, bombs, snowballs, poisonous sushi, and other sources of pain.

Combine strategic planning and improvisation to clear out hordes of mini middle managers. Each run is randomly generated, creating unique challenges and strategies in each playthrough. Figure out how to eliminate waves of weird little guys while enduring the chaos you’ve created. Upgrade towers and purchase powerful items with gathered cash.
Unlock a variety of headwear, each with its own unique effect on gameplay. We will not go into further detail. Just know that there are hats.
