WIRE WARS - Connect. Power. Defend! Defend your base in this unique tower defense game where strategy meets energy management! Wire up your towers to bring them to life! Drag wires between buildings to create a power network. No power means no defense. Place turrets, lasers, and flamethrowers strategically. Plan your wire connections carefully - wires are limited!
