The horde is coming. You have no hero - you have a finger, free walls, and 25 seconds. Pixel Panic is a tower defense where YOU draw the enemies' path. Trace walls in one stroke, watch the horde adapt live, erase and redraw - even mid-wave. Then pick your weapons, stack your upgrades, and set off chain reactions that fill the screen. HOW IT WORKS - Slide your finger: walls are placed continuously (free, limited quota) - The enemy path is shown in real time - it's a puzzle, not a trap - Wall everything off if you dare: they'll smash through the nearest one - Every wave is announced in advance: read the threat, adapt your plan NO TWO RUNS ALIKE - Start with 2 random weapons, draft more as you go - 6 maps with different rules: valley, crossroads, corridor, island, dunes, furnace - Modifier waves: armored, warchief, fog, burrowers... - Choice events: safe, risky, or downright insane - Broken synergies to discover: spreading burns, ricochet bolts, chain explosions AFTER VICTORY? - Endless mode starts where other games stop - Stars unlock new weapons, maps and permanent perks - 8 challenges, a Daily run with a shared seed - 3 calibrated difficulties, casual to razor-edge ALSO - Pixel art, music and sound 100% generated - no asset packs - 5-15 minute sessions, save anytime - Offline, no forced ads, no energy system The castle still stands. For now.
