How it feels

A frantic mix of tower defense and platforming where you scramble to place towers and throw enemies to protect a grumpy necromancer.

What players say

Players call this a well-polished student project from DigiPen that merges platforming with tower defense. It is short, around an hour, and reviews note the auto towers are powerful if you survive to max them, while a minority finds the balancing uneven, with slow waves and a punishing boss.
