How to play
The goal is simple: keep the central tower alive as long as possible.
Controls:
- The tower fights automatically. It targets the nearest enemy within its range and fires on its own.
- Your job is to manage upgrades using the money you earn from each kill.
Upgrades:
- Range — extends how far the tower can detect and shoot enemies. Useful against fast enemies that would otherwise reach you.
- Fire Rate — reduces the cooldown between shots. Essential when waves get crowded.
- Damage — increases how much health each shot removes. Critical for taking down tanks.
Enemies:
- Standard — balanced health and speed.
- Fast — low health but quickly closes the distance.
- Tank — slow but heavily armored, deals heavy damage if it reaches the tower.
Tips:
- Don't save too long — early upgrades compound over time.
- Watch the spawn angles; enemies appear from any direction.
- Balance all three upgrades — focusing on only one will leave you exposed.
Features
- Dynamic Targeting: The turret intelligently prioritizes the nearest active threat to prevent immediate damage.
- Resource Management: Every kill provides currency that you must reinvest immediately to stay ahead of the difficulty curve.
