One day, terrible zombies try to invade your home. You need to form a powerful animals team to defeat them. You have a variety of animals with different capabilities. You have to place animals in areas in front of the house for defeating zombies before they reach your door. The animals have their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities. You’ll use your strategy to arrange the combination of animals and the fighting positions to stop the zombies. There are also 5 mini-games, each mini-game has 8 unlocked levels with different difficulty. [Game Play] The playing area has 5 horizontal lanes, zombies will only move towards along one lane. Placing animals costs coins, which can be gathered for free during daytime levels, or be generated by Piggies. Therefore, the most important strategy is to place as many piggies as possible at the beginning. Then, you will have enough coins to place other animals. You starts with two animals and two slots (how many animals you can pick in the level). The animals and the slots will be increased through completing levels. There are 30 different animals and up to 10 animals slots. At the beginning of each level, you can pick which animals you’d like to take into the level. If a zombie reaches the end of a lane, a boar will attack forward and destroy all the zombies in that lane. However, if a zombie reaches the end of that same lane for a second time, the game will end. If you like tower defense games, you’ll enjoy this casual animals defense game. Animals Battle is an easy-to-play but challenging game. All levels are unlocked. Download now and hope you can enjoy it.

NEON LIFE // PROTOCOL

NEON LIFE // PROTOCOL turns Conway's Game of Life into a head-to-head strategy game. You command the cyan colony; a magenta AI swarm commands the other. Whoever's cells dominate the board when the dust settles wins. HOW IT PLAYS Deploy phase: spend energy to stamp classic Life patterns near your own cells. BLOCK never dies and holds a node forever. GLIDER and LWSS crawl across the board on their own. R-PENT drops in as a controlled explosion of chaos. You can also purge enemy cells within range - that costs energy too. Evolution phase: run 8 generations of real Conway's Game of Life with one tap. The twist that decides every match: newborn cells inherit the color of the majority among their three parent cells. A numbers advantage snowballs along the front line - a good placement might not pay off for several generations. Energy nodes: five golden rings are scattered across the map. Whichever side has more cells nearby controls the node and earns bonus energy every round. Fight for the nodes, or fight for raw numbers - every match forces the choice. Win by wiping out the enemy colony, or by leading in population after 20 rounds. LOOK AND SOUND A genuine neon aesthetic - bloom, scanlines, vignette, particle bursts where the two colors collide - scored with an original synthwave soundtrack composed for the game. ABOUT PRICING Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No data collection. No internet connection required - play a full match offline, start to finish. Whether you love the Game of Life for its mathematical elegance or just want a clean, opinionated turn-based strategy game, NEON LIFE // PROTOCOL is worth a look.
