Read full description

Space Tower Crush - the classic tower defense game created to please the most demanding players. Story: Finding whose Space Tower is the best is the main objective of this game. To make your space tower stronger, you may customize it with a range of weaponry and equipment. While attempting to destroy space modules (floors) from the opposing tower, you must defend the space modules of your tower. Naturally, enemies won't take that lightly and will challenge you to a showdown for supremacy. With the right strategy and equipment, you can find a way to become a winner in this great space battle. Game objectives: Build your tower with multiple wooden, metal, stone, or gold floors, load them with weapons, upgrade, evolve, and defeat your opponents in fantastic space battles! Come up with your own battle strategy with six unique space warriors (Apollo, Atlas, Orion, Aster, Altair, and Lyra) and extremely powerful weapon types (Machine Guns, Cannons, Flame Guns, Rockets, Tesla or Plasma weapons). With more than 100 levels and colorful locations, every battle will feel like a different experience. Are you ready to crush your enemy's tower? How to play: Touch one of your tower floors to select it, then, tap one of the enemy floors that you've targeted. Touch multiple tower floors to select them at once. Pay attention to the power-up icons when they appear near your tower to use power-ups like a shield, ice or poison attack, and more. Also keep your eye on the energy bar of your tower, which indicates how intact your tower is at the end of each battle. Upgrades: You'll earn gold by completing levels. Collect your coins in the course of the game to buy different upgrades and powerups in the shop. This is where you can add floors to strengthen the tower, upgrade them, and equip them with the weapons of your choice. Moreover, adding such powerups as Thunderstorm, Tornado or the Rain of Fire will make your team completely unstoppable! Forward, for glory and honor, to new victories!

About

Dot Shooter

Read full description

Dot Shooter is a twin-stick bullet hell drawn like a blueprint. Move with your left thumb, aim and fire with your right, and slip through enemy fire all the way to wave 20. Every level-up deals you a choice of cards. Split your shots, add crits, slow the swarm or harden the hull, then grow the right cards into one of 13 evolutions. Four sectors Drift, Belt, Reactor and Nebula each have their own enemies, their own Warden and their own trouble: asteroids that block your shots, a beam that sweeps the arena, and fog that hides what hunts you. Keep what you earn Enemies drop Cores. After a boss, extract to bank them all, or push on for more and risk the run. Spend Cores in the hangar on upgrades that last and on 12 of the 30 skins, trails and effects. Earn the other 18 through achievements. Eight ships and one secret Each ship changes the rules. Fork's shots bounce off the walls, Mirror fires both ways, Glass hits twice as hard on a thin hull. Unlock them by playing, then find the ninth. More ways to play - Time Challenge: three minutes, score only - Daily: one seeded run a day, with the same seed, sector and modifiers for everyone - Weekly: a harder seeded run that changes each week - Boss Rush: a sector's three bosses, back to back - Endless: past the Warden, the waves loop harder - Danger: seven levels of harder rules that pay more Cores - Three missions a day that pay Cores - The Log: 100 achievements and a page for every enemy, boss and card you meet Fair ads Your first run has no ads. After that, an ad plays only when you tap for one: a revive, double Cores at the end of a run, or a card reroll. No account needed. ----- Privacy policy: https://dangnguyen.app/dot-shooter/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
