About the Game

Alien bugs are launching an assault on Earth, which is rather unfortunate, and the only thing standing in their way is your strategic cunning. It's time to dust off our snazzy array of scientist-approved towers, and put them to use defending against endless waves of uninvited insects that are clearly intent on destroying our energy cores! Throw in a few nifty abilities from the Laboratory, some upgrades here and there, and our survival is almost guaranteed, probably.

BUILD A MAZE OF TOWERS


Mount a defence by building hundreds of towers, choosing from the wide selection available. The placement of the towers can affect the path your enemies are likely to take across the map, so you'll need to put your strategy pants on for best results.

DEFEND AGAINST PESKY BUGS


This game contains a lot of bugs, and not only the type that the developer created with their incompetence. We're talking insects. They possess special abilities, synergize well with each other and are very angry at us for some well thought out, lore-appropriate reason.

USE ABILITIES


There are times when you need a little something extra to get you out of a pickle. Luckily, there are a variety of situational abilities ready for just such an occurrence. They allow you to disrupt the alien assault for a moment, or explode something that had the audacity to survive your clearly adequate defence.

UNIQUE MAP FEATURES


Many of the locations you fight in, as you battle your way through the campaign, have their own little thing going on that will add a bit of flavour to the otherwise completely normal experience of fighting alien bugs with plasma towers.

ENDLESS REPLAYABILITY

With permanent unlocks as you progress, new options and strategies continually become available for previous maps, improving your chances of getting those previously out-of-reach rewards, or setting that sweet high-score you've been dreaming about!

WHAT TO EXPECT

This game was created by a single developer, so it is modest in size and scope. Each map can take anywhere from 20 minutes, to multiple hours to play, depending on your talent for survival. Full completion of the game is likely to take at least 40 hours.
