About

Battery Defender

Features
Read full description

Build your defenseโ€ฆ one battery at a time! Welcome to Battery Defender, a unique strategy and automation game where you design a conveyor belt network to deliver energy batteries to your turrets and fend off waves of enemies! Plan smart. Build better. Survive longer. Gameplay is split into two phases: Preparation Phase โ€“ Place, merge, and optimize your belts and turrets. Design the perfect power grid to fuel your defense. Combat Phase โ€“ Enemies attack! Your turrets fire automatically based on your setup. No turning back โ€” your planning is everything. Core Mechanics: A battery generator produces energy over time. Conveyor belts transport batteries to turrets and power-consuming structures. Each turret requires a specific energy amount to activate and fire, then enters a short cooldown. Batteries that reach a full or cooling turret keep moving โ€” no waste allowed! Merge identical belts and turrets to enhance their power and efficiency. Design your energy network: Belts in various shapes: straight, long, L-turns, crossings, and more. Energy multipliers: upgrade belts to duplicate transported batteries (x2, x3โ€ฆ). Multiple battery levels and upgradable generators. Survive relentless enemy waves by constantly refining your circuit design and tactical choices. Can your grid handle the pressure?
