About the Game

🧠 MOTHERBOARD UNDER ATTACK 🦠

Tower Defense with circuits, viruses, and… soldering!

Get ready to defend your computer’s motherboard!
In Motherboard Under Attack, you will face waves of viruses trying to invade and destroy your electronic components. Your mission? Solder components in strategic positions, manage your resources (precious solder), and prevent viruses from infecting the processor!

⚔️ HOW TO PLAY

  • Collect solder (the in-game currency)

  • Solder electronic components as defense towers

  • Turn-based defense against increasingly stronger virus waves

  • Strategic management of upgrades and positioning

🔧 COMPONENTS – YOUR DEFENSE TOWERS
Each tower is based on a real electronic component and has a unique function:
🟢 Diode – Fast shots against ground viruses
🔵 Capacitor – High-damage cannon, but slow
🔴 Inductor – Continuous low-damage laser, slowing viruses
🟣 Transistor – Effective air defense
🟠 Resistor – Slows viruses but loses durability
💣 Fuse – Powerful explosive trap
⚙️ Oscillator – Generates more solder!

☣️ THE VIRUSES

  • Common Virus – Fast and numerous

  • Spyware – Flies but is fragile

  • Adware – Flying and destructive against towers

  • Worm – Infects and temporarily disables towers

  • Trojan – Ground tank, splits when destroyed

  • Botnet – The boss! Massive tank that attacks towers

🛠️ EVOLUTION AND STRATEGY

  • Upgrade using solder

  • Collect batteries to unlock Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels

  • Each upgraded tower changes visually and gains new powers!

🌍 STAGE CAMPAIGN

  • Unlock stages based on your performance:

    • Reach wave 25 of stage 1 to unlock stage 2

  • Each stage brings new challenges and unique objectives

💾 A DIFFERENT TOWER DEFENSE
With a retro electronic look, immersive soundtrack, and progressive challenges, Motherboard Under Attack is perfect for tower defense fans looking for something creative and original.
