How to play Tower Defense

Invaders march along the dirt path toward your castle. Build towers on the grass beside the path to stop them. Every invader that reaches the castle costs lives — lose all 20 and the castle falls. Survive 25 waves to win the map.

Building

  • Pick a tower in the bar at the bottom (or press 1–4), then tap or click a grass tile to build it. The circle shows its range.
  • Tap a tower you've built to upgrade it (up to level 3) or sell it for 70% of what you spent. Keys: U upgrade, X sell.
  • Defeated invaders give gold. Calling the next wave early with Wave ▶ (or Space) earns bonus gold.
  • Speed (or F) toggles 1×, 2× and 3× game speed. P pauses.

Towers

  • Archer — cheap, fast single-target arrows.
  • Cannon — slow, heavy shells that splash damage in an area. Great against groups.
  • Frost — chilling bolts that slow invaders down.
  • Tesla — lightning that chains between several invaders and ignores armour.

Invaders

  • Grunts are average, Runners are fast, Brutes are slow and armoured (armour reduces each hit), Swarmlings come in big packs and every 10th wave brings a Warlord boss.

Choose between six maps in the toolbar. Your best wave on each map is saved.
