About game
Fans of strategic tower defense will find plenty to love in Snake Defense as you protect your base from a relentless giant creature. You must stop the serpent from reaching your platform by strategically placing archers to chip away at its segmented armor. Gold drops from destroyed body parts, allowing you to buy more units and merge them for higher damage output. Managing the eight available slots on your platform becomes a high-stakes puzzle during intense waves. Targeting specific segments like healers or speeders helps you control the flow of battle before the armored head arrives. Leveling up grants power-ups that boost your arrow damage, adding a layer of depth to every skirmish. Boss battles against massive dragons test your preparation every ten stages.

How to play
Press "Archer" to buy an archer with gold. Archers shoot on their own at the front segment of the snake.
Drag an archer onto an identical one and they merge into a single archer one level higher. You can also move an archer to a free spot.
Tap a segment to make all archers shoot at it: bombs hurt their neighbours, chests give gold, healers heal the snake and lightning segments speed it up.
When the experience bar is full, pick one of three power-ups. It lasts until the end of the battle.
Don't let the snake's head reach the platform. The head is armored while the body is alive.
Between battles spend coins on upgrades, unlock heroines and open chests. Buttons with a video icon give a bonus for watching an ad.
