Compile & Defend Demo
A tower defense game where you don't click to shoot — you write code your towers run every tick, in Python, JavaScript, C++, C#, Rust, Zig or Lua. Prioritize threats with if, sweep swarms with for, and route air, armor and camo to the right tower. Better algorithms beat more towers.

Concurrent players on Steam, one reading a day at about 15:00 UTC since Sep 29, 2026. Before then readings were taken at different times of day, spanning 0 hours, and Steam concurrency runs about 1.8x higher at its daily high than at its low — so some of the movement across that stretch is the clock, not the game.
Shaded: Steam sales and festivals this game was in (the Events tab has each one).
