About the Game

Tempest Tower redefines Tower Defense by combining classic base-building with player-driven movement and combat mechanics. Explore new areas of the map and construct your base during the Build Phase. Battle hordes of Creepers and frantically collect resources during the Action Phase. You can’t be everywhere at once, so build your defenses and pick your battles carefully!

From Bug Blasters that engage enemies at range to trampolines that catapult you across levels, Tempest Tower is packed with crazy contraptions! Personally trigger traps to deal damage to Creepers en masse, and deploy shield bubbles that bounce damage back at foes, there are countless creative tools available to swing the fight in your favour.

Trip Space’s unique flora is your secret weapon! Exploding Bomb-Berries wreak havoc on large clusters of enemies, Bait Bulbs lure Creepers into deadly traps, and Glide Leaves let you soar over vast chasms. Adapt, strategize, and use all the items at your disposal to outwit your enemies.

Forge your path to victory with endless experimentation. Customize your loadout before every level, draft contraptions and upgrades to strengthen your build, strategize with powerful items to create crazy combos. Turn hazardous level elements into tools of destruction and continuously refine your tactics. The possibilities are endless!

Master the intricacies of each level through sharp intuition and relentless trial and error. Strike the perfect balance between building efficient defenses and bolstering your economy to stay ahead. Push your limits with difficulty modifiers or level challenges and claim the ultimate high score!
