How it feels

A relaxed yet creatively demanding strategy game where you build and tactically respond to an evolving AI opponent in a minimalist space setting.

What players say

Players praise the minimalist art and the AI that learns from your strategies over multiple runs, calling it a clever and relaxing tower defense. However, the lack of a save function forces two-to-three-hour sessions, and some find the AI adaptation too slow.
