"Storm is imminent, unstoppable force. Strategize and guard your base! "Weather TD" is a minimalist-style Tower Defense game. Your goal is to keep the base alive amid waves of heavy rains. The mood is seated to be a cute SIFI adventure in a unknown planet. Different from other TD, in this game the enemy are mostly rain drops, lights and winds, even though it also has other creatures, but the mood is kept to more "Battle with weather conditions" rather than dungeon loops or monster fights, if you want to have a try then I hope you can enjoy the vibe. The game includes 6 levels with 3 rank of difficulties, and each of them has an endless mode. Each level has it's Leader Board, everyone can check their performance if they would love to.
