Weapon Tower
Read full descriptionHide full description
Enemies advance along a fixed road. You place weapons beside it and stop them. The slots are fixed. Which weapon, which slot, in which order. When the gold runs out, do you build another one, or upgrade what you already have? That is the whole game. Nothing is left to chance. โ 100 levels Clear level 1 and level 2 opens. Enemies get tougher and more numerous as you go. Early levels run 6 turns, later ones 20 - each run gets longer. โ 16 weapons Guns that punch through single targets, cannons that burst on impact, lasers that pierce a line, plasma that arcs between enemies. Attack towers and support towers both: slowing, poison, weakening, range extension. Every one has a different job, so the arrangement is what decides the outcome. โ Three upgrade tiers Tap a placed weapon to upgrade it. Damage and range go up and a marker appears on its base. Spread thin, or stack one position deep? The same gold builds very different defenses. โ Ultimate A screen-wide strike that charges over time. Your insurance for the turn that almost breaks through. โ Built to play anywhere - Portrait, one hand - AUTO advances turns for you - Speed from 1x to 2x - English / Japanese - Works offline, no account needed - No ads, no in-app purchases A level takes a few minutes. Good for a commute or the last few minutes before bed.
