How it feels

A frantic build-and-defend loop where you constantly upgrade units and heroes to survive ever-stronger alien waves, with a focus on resource management and risk-reward item enhancement.

What players say

Players describe it as a basic but competent tower defense game where your towers can move. It is cheap and short, with most runs ending around wave 11. Some find it fun for the price, others say it feels like a mobile port with rough movement and no menus.
