Sabotage is a one-thumb turret defence. You hold a single gun on a city street against wave after wave of saboteurs: drones, gunships, bombers, boarding crews and the bosses that lead them. Aim, fire, manage the heat, and hold. EVERY WAVE PAYS Clear a wave and it pays salvage. Salvage buys upgrades between runs, reloads and lives during them. Fall, and your life is the retry: pick up where you fell. CO-OP WITH LIVE VOICE Up to four players share one sky, each on their own turret, talking on live voice while they hold. Voice is relayed and never recorded. CLIMB THE BOARD Every run is scored on the server, so the leaderboard is real. Enter contests for a salvage fee and win the prize. MAKE IT YOURS Dozens of turret skins, from clean chrome to animated neon, magma and nebula. HONEST MONEY No banners. No interstitials. The only ad is an optional second chance when you fall, and you choose whether to watch it. Purchases are salvage packs and skins, nothing you need to win. PLAYS OFFLINE No signal, no problem: the run plays, and your progress and scores post when you are back online. On iPhone, Sign in with Apple keeps your progress across phones. No password, ever.
