How it feels

A collaborative 2D base-building and tower defense game where players protect hand-drawn cities against insectoid attacks while managing resources and exploring underground.

What players say

Players describe an interesting mix of base-building and tower defense that feels abandoned by its developers. The game suffers from optimization problems, translation errors, and a sudden ending, but some still find the core loop enjoyable for solo play.
