About the Game

Neon Colony

Neon Colony is a tower defense game where you develop a reasonably uninhabited planet for your kind corporate benefactors. Plan your roads, extract the planet's resources and deal with any unruly and most definitively evil aliens in a diplomatic manner.

Game features

  • Build your own road! Each new road tile can be rotated and replaced as you see fit to gain full control over the planet's surface - though replacing comes at a cost.

  • Discover more valuable resources further from your city, but also more dangerous enemies. 

  • Use your resources to power advanced towers - unless you would rather sell them for intergalactic credits, which can be used to buy one of the 100+ upgrades to your towers, city or economy.

  • Deal with alien ruins and artifacts that can drastically change the nature of a run.

  • Unlock and choose one of 15 governors to govern your colony, each with unique advantages and downsides.

  • There is a challenge to each run, which can start with 1-4 lanes, depending on your level of greed and with 15 levels determining how hospitable the planet is.

  • Easy to learn, with 5 optional tutorial levels that gradually introduce the game elements to you.

  • Play as you want! Finishing a run does not require meta-progression, with all essential upgrades available from the start.
