The Tower, but better?

As someone who was hooked on The Tower, but tired of having to commit 24/7 screen time in order to make progress, this game is refreshing and satisfies with similar progression systems. And although this game is brand new, it doesn’t have the same depth (yet), I look forward to seeing where it goes and how it develops in the future!

Fun idle tower defender

Fun game. So far, minimal PTW. I like how they handle tournaments (way less time consuming) and actually letting an idle TD strategy game progress without needing a device running 247.
