The Demon King's army is invading the galaxy, but simply surviving isn't enough.

In Glowbot Tower Defense, you'll build powerful defensive networks of glowing robotic defenders, battle endless waves of monsters, and compete against players around the world for leaderboard supremacy. Every map features global Steam leaderboards that track your highest wave survived, turning every run into a battle for ranking, prestige, and rare achievements.
