About

Something's coming down the path. Cone-shaped machines. Relentless, endless, and heading straight for your base. Your job: build the defense that stops them.
Enemies follow paths. You place towers freely. Every tower type serves a different purpose; raw damage, crowd control, support, area denial. Knowing when to use what is half the game.

Every tower has 3 upgrade paths, each with 5 tiers.
But you can only invest in 2 paths per tower.
That means every tower becomes a decision: do you go all-in on damage, build a long-range zone controller, or make something weird and flexible?

Earn research points from missions, unlock new towers and upgrades. The further you get, the wilder your builds become.

Good TD, i like the sci fi setup and it's visually great with , explosions and lasers everywhere , good SFX, but a bit short , would like more maps, but for that price i guess it's fine. Good job on doin that alone i'm waiting for the next !
A fun tower defense game!
I judge a game by how long would it take me to pay for this working a minimum wage job, and has it kept my interest throughout that time period, for games below $21, I think of the Steam refund policy, has this game kept my interest for over 2 hours in one setting... my answer to both those questions is YES. The game won't take you days to complete, but it'll be entertaining enough to warrant the cost. FInished the game, I enjoyed it, money didn't feel wasted, and it feels good to support indie... true indie, not whatever the $&%^ Mixtape is!
Very little content, easily completed by abusable mechanics. Truly not challenging due to the easily accessed upgrades. Game crashes after 50+ rounds and that is unacceptable.
I loved it. Fair price, I'd buy it on sale for sure. Pretty fun TD.
Great potential - a solid TD with different builds.
Finished the game. Quite enjoyable, nice graphics, I really like the weapon looks update with every upgrade (each tower has 3 different versions). Interesting enemies, and maps (some are famous from old online tower def games). Should be a bit cheaper, as it is too easy, and doesn't have as many maps. I would hope that the dev will add at least 3 more maps. Good work!
Neat little tower defense game with crisp 3D graphics and good performance, even on an integrated GPU. Incremental upgrades, thoughtful enemy design, reasonably balanced. Overall, a well-made tower defense game.
So, it is a well made game, from a graphics stand point. And the upgrade and tech tree system is standard yet interesting. Still. The game is...Boring. The sounds of the weapons are 'weak'. The explosions are 'underwhelming'. The video on the store page, really does not properly demonstrate, the games 'sound' files.. And there is a severe lack of variety on the part of the 'Cone' vehicles and troops. It is basically an attempt to recreate Defense Zone with more modern 3d modeling envirorment. And DZ series was pretty damn good Tower Defense game... This does not capture DZ's intensity.
A really awesome TD game with great upgrade paths,
