About the Game

★ Featured on IGN

In Groove Defense, every tower you build not only defends but also contributes to a dynamic soundtrack, creating a unique gameplay experience. Feel the beat as you strategize your defenses and create your own musical masterpiece!

Expand your defenses and the track fills out. By the later waves, what you're hearing is a direct reflection of the choices you made early on. Experiment and master your defense!

Enemies move to the tempo and attacks land on the beat. But surviving comes down to strategy: tower placement, upgrade paths, and managing pressure across lanes before it overwhelms you.

LEVELS & MODES

The Soundcheck Demo includes four stages, each built around a distinct sound: Synthwave, Slasher Flick, 2010s Pop, and 80s music. More stages are coming in the full release but you’ll get a lot of replayability through: 

  • Tour Mode runs you through a structured campaign.

  • Free Play lets you mess around with builds.

  • Rhythm Remix takes your run's soundtrack and turns it into a note-lane challenge (think classic rhythm game, but the song is one you built yourself).
