Wavefront is a fast, colorful tower defense game. Line your towers along the path, upgrade them mid-battle, and hold every wave of monsters before they reach your base — across 5 worlds and 100 levels. Place smart, upgrade at the right moment, and read each wave. Easy to pick up, tuned for short sessions, deep enough to chase a 3-star run on every level. WHAT YOU DO Pick your loadout, place towers along the road, and upgrade them while the wave is still coming. Every level ends with a damage report telling you which weapon actually carried it — so your next loadout is a decision, not a guess. TOWERS • Gun, Rapid and Sniper for ground waves • Frost slows everything it hits • Cannon splashes damage across a group • Flak is the only thing that can touch flyers • Farm prints money instead of bullets • Laser exists for one job: bosses PROGRESSION THAT KEEPS GOING Earn gold in battle and spend it in the Armory on permanent upgrades. Max a weapon out and Mastery takes over — an uncapped track that keeps adding damage for as long as you keep investing. 5 WORLDS, 100 LEVELS Forest, Desert, Winter, City and Space, each with its own 25-strong monster roster: critters, vehicles, jetpack aliens, air bosses and ground bosses. Roads fork, cross and run in pairs, so the same tactics do not work everywhere. SURVIVE An endless hell arena. No level to clear — just how long you can hold, with your time on a global leaderboard. SPELLS AND COMMANDERS Call down a meteor, freeze the field, cash in mid-wave, or EMP the flyers. Pick a commander for a run-long bonus. ALSO • Play offline — no connection needed • Daily quests, achievements and a monster collection • 1-3 stars per level, feeding a global star leaderboard • Seven languages
