How it feels

A tense strategic defense game where you carefully choose turrets and passives to repel a fungal invasion, with each attempt teaching you more about the enemy patterns.

What players say

Players enjoy the tower defense and roguelike upgrade loop, but find the early access very thin on content and the difficulty poorly balanced, the first level is hard until permanent upgrades make subsequent runs trivial. Opinions split on the tutorial, and long-time players note the game has not received new levels for a while.
