6 itemsAbout the Game
In Tawger Defense you, as a Keeper, are tasked with protecting a train as it moves between Checkpoints through hordes of enemies. Build and upgrade your defenses at Checkpoints and put them to the test during Transits.
Defend the train
It's a good thing all Keepers are equipped with both tools of destruction and healing. As the enemies cling to the outside of the train there is nothing else to do than to smash and bonk the inside of the walls with your left hand tool, the Hammer, to make the enemies loose their grip. Fear not! The damage done can easily be restored using your right hand tool, the Blowtorch.
Unlock new recipes for Bulbs and Cannons
Visit the Bulb Cooker's store to grab the latest (or whatever is in stock) upgrades for your defense. Even though a Bulb might seem useless at first, after finding a fitting Cannon it will surely change your mind. Creating fun combinations of effects and behaviors from these two systems is part of the core of the Tawger experience.
Take on Deliveries and fill your train with crates
Before setting out on another hectic Transit be sure to fill up your cargo space with Deliveries to other upcoming Checkpoints. The cargo is very valuable, but the boxes sure can get in the way sometimes.
Plan your route (and don't miss the exit)
Find the optimal route to max out your deliveries. Always look ahead for any upcoming switches, missing an exit can lead to many failed deliveries. This train only goes one way.
