How it feels

A hectic top-down tower defense where enemies actively fight back, requiring careful upgrades and special abilities to repel massive waves.

What players say

Players describe a tower defense with an energy grid mechanic where towers need power from separate energy towers. The enemy units shoot back, which combined with tight balance and upgrade demands creates a steep difficulty spike by the fourth level. Some players report the mouse cursor barely moves, while others cannot place towers at all, calling the game broken.
