Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn a tropical island into your own fortress. Choose your turrets, build a maze of walls, and keep waves of mischievous mushrooms away from home. Power lasers and plasma weapons with solar panels, wind turbines, generators, and batteries. Improve your private island, grow tropical fruit, explore the harbor, and take on dockside challenges between battles. Enter first-person mode and aim your equipped weapon yourself. Plan around weapon range, recoil, energy use, and changing island layouts. Features in this tested release: • Tower defense with player-built routes and automatically connecting walls. • Distinct weapon families and visible turret upgrades. • A private island with power buildings, farming, and harbor activities. • Optional rewarded videos for in-game benefits. • Portrait touch controls and adjustable graphics settings.
