About the Game

WACKYTOWN

A wave-defense game that respects your time and aggressively disrespects your dignity.

Survive 14 waves of escalating absurdity. Soft little things at first — basic enemies that walk in a line and die when shot. Then it gets worse. By wave 7 you're freezing teleporting jesters mid-spawn while a phase boss takes your base apart on the other side of the screen. By wave 14 you've spent $20,000 on a piercing upgrade and you still aren't sure if it was worth it.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

- 14 hand-tuned waves with a real ending — not a roguelike, not an infinite-survival hamster wheel. You beat it or you don't.

- 25+ enemy types: speedsters, tanks, jesters, vampires, freezers, splitters, ghosts, and four named bosses.

- 20+ upgrades. Buy whatever's funny. Lifesteal AND thorns is a build. Crit chance AND knockback is a build. Regret is also a build.

- Online 2-player co-op via Steam friends. Host a room, send an invite through the Steam overlay, your friend joins instantly.

- A multiplayer "Play as Enemies" mode where one player swaps roles with the wave manager. Buy enemies with coins, spawn them at the worst possible moment, and try to kill your friend.

- Four difficulties: Easy / Normal / Hard / Impossible. Impossible has a 3x HP multiplier and an achievement titled "Walked Through Hell." It is not a metaphor.

- 56 real achievements. 5 fake ones. You'll know which is which.

- Meta-progression: Wacky Coins + Account XP across runs, unlock cosmetics from a 22-item shop (skins, bullet trails, kill effects, victory dances), and dig into a 25-entry lore codex.

- A 50-tier seasonal Battle Pass with a free track for everyone and a premium track for the obsessed. New season every 90 days.

- Leaderboards for highest wave, fastest wave-14 clear, and the daily run (everyone gets the same seed for the same day).

DEFEND. DESTROY. SURVIVE.

Wackytown is a small, tightly-tuned 14-wave run made by Wackytown. Average run length 10-25 minutes. Pick up, play, beat the final wave, brag to your friends, go to bed.
