Command your defenses. Master the synergies. Conquer the waves. PolyTowerz is a tactical tower defense game where placement and combinations matter more than brute force. Every tower, enemy and explosion is drawn in code instead of painted as an image, so the board stays razor sharp neon at any speed. Plays offline, or online in co-op with a friend. 11 UNIQUE TOWERS • Shard: Rapid tri-shot for clearing swarms fast • Bastion: Reliable all-round cannon for steady damage • Hex: Chain lightning that bounces between enemies • Pulse: Radial burst with a slowing aura • Prism: High-damage sniper that pierces through multiple enemies • Nova: Ignites enemies with burn damage that bypasses shields • Laser: Sustained beam tower with widening firepower • Blackhole: Fires persistent vortex zones that pull and damage • Scythe: Spawns rotating blade zones for continuous area damage • Acid: Corrosive globs that make enemies take more damage from all towers • Sol: Charges solar energy, then fires one devastating sustained beam THE FOUNDRY Fuse two towers into one hybrid. Chassis plus infusion, 66 combinations to discover, each with its own name, look and dual attack. Defeat the first boss to bring the forge online. 11 POWERFUL SYNERGIES Position towers strategically to activate synergies that boost their power. Ignite Heatwave with Sol and Nova, amplify corrosion with Acid and Pulse, or form the Storm Forge triangle with Bastion, Shard and Pulse for a lightning beam that damages everything it crosses. Finding the right combinations is where the real strategy begins. DEEP META PROGRESSION Earn Core Shards by winning levels and completing challenges. Spend them in the skill tree to unlock new towers, stronger synergies and global boosts. Push for Level 5 towers and Transcendence, then raise your hybrids even higher through the Foundry. Player levels 1 to 50 with titles and avatar frames. LEVELS AND MODES 24 campaign levels across 3 difficulty tiers, 3 boss fights, 7 survival maps and an endless mode. Earn 3-star ratings to unlock the boss levels and face Omegon, the final boss only the sharpest commanders defeat. NEW GAME PLUS Finish the campaign and begin a cycle. Your meta progression stays, every wave hits harder, and three enemies show up that a first run never sees: Colossus, Herald and Phasewalker. A cycle is also the only way to earn the King, the twelfth tower. CO-OP Defend one board with a friend. Invite by link or code, ready up in the lobby, and share one game. Unlocked after your first win. DAILY CHALLENGES AND REWARDS • A fresh challenge every day on a rotating map • Daily login rewards with a streak bonus system • Game Center leaderboards for Endless, Daily Challenge, Survival and player level • Invite a friend and you both earn Core Shards 42 ACHIEVEMENTS From surviving with one life to activating five synergies in a single run.

Score by almost dying. One tap. Hold to rise, let go to fall. The closer you fly to the lethal edges, the faster your multiplier climbs. Play it safe and the run is worth nothing. A NEW WORLD EVERY DAY The course, the colors, the soundtrack, the weather and the day's own name are all generated from the date. Everyone on earth flies the same named world, and it resets at midnight UTC. Every Saturday, a Remix twists the rules. ONE GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Game Center boards for today, yesterday, all-time and daily wins. One winner a day. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Share a score and it becomes a challenge link. Your friends fly your exact course with your mark to beat, and the winner sends it back. WEEKLY LEAGUES Your daily bests add up every week. Climb from Bronze to Diamond against everyone who plays, and earn Stardust every Monday. DAILY OBJECTIVES Three new objectives every day, the same three for everyone: easy, medium and hard. Hit a score, chain grazes, master an obstacle, or make a comeback after a continue. Finish all three for a check mark next to your name on the daily board. COLLECT HUNDREDS OF ALIENS Finish the day in the top 3 and keep that day's alien forever. Finish all three objectives to meet the day's visitor, and catch the stowaway hiding somewhere on every daily course. Earn more for streaks, wins, big runs and every way you play, and collect holiday aliens from around the world, from Christmas to Day of the Dead to Diwali. Some are secrets you will have to discover. Every alien has its own name, and your favorite pilots every run, launching in its saucer before it becomes the ball. Your favorite evolves as it flies, taking a new form at every one of five stages, from a dragon whelp to a legendary dragon lord with wings of fire, with rare shinies to find. SEASONS AND REWARDS Every four weeks a new Season opens with 30 tiers of rewards and an alien you can only get that season. Every run, objective and perfect day moves you up. Open a chest every fifth run, catch the surprise Happy Hour for double Stardust, and your first run each day pays triple. MAKE IT YOURS Every run earns Stardust to spend in the shop: ball colors, trails and trail upgrades, saucer skins, hats and snacks for your favorite alien, alien eggs that hatch something new, and a golden name on the leaderboard. A weekly stall brings rare items that leave at the end of the week. Unlock new app icons as your collection grows. A weekly recap and a full stats page show how far you have come. SEVENTEEN KINDS OF OBSTACLE Walls, spinning rotors, gated rings, minefields that watch you, canyons, rails, bombs, and currents that push you off your line. Watch for named set pieces, and a world that changes as your Heat climbs. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Optimized for iPhone Duo, folded or open. The same layout and the same course on every iPhone, from the smallest to the biggest. Heat shows as pips as well as color. Larger text, and options to turn off screen shake and flashes. NO NONSENSE Free. Works with no signal. No timers, no lives to wait for, nothing locked behind a paywall. One optional purchase removes the banner ad. Your progress syncs with iCloud. Nine languages. Made by one person.
