How to Play

Controls

  • Left Click - place or select a tower
  • Select a placed tower - open upgrade / delete menu

Tower Types

  • Orange - simple shooter
  • Red - piercing laser
  • Green - boosts power of towers in radius
  • Blue - slows enemies by a percent

Goal

Survive waves of enemies. Power acts as both your health and your currency. Spend it to build and upgrade towers, but if you run out, you lose.


Watchout for the weather cycle that runs between waves. During the day your Power recharges, but the amount you gain depends on the weather. Keep an eye on the forecast. Enemies attack at night.


Each tower has an upkeep cost that kicks in once it starts shooting. The more towers you have, the more Power they drain, so build strategically.
