How it feels

a methodical and customizable tower defense game where you strategically build and upgrade defenses to fend off enemy waves

What players say

Players enjoy the tower defense loop at first but many find the core clicker mechanic tiresome and the game gets repetitive quickly. There is disagreement on balance, with some calling rockets overpowered and other towers useless, while a few still recommend it as a solid time killer.
