GRID DEFENSE is a fast, hand-tuned tower defense game about one simple job: hold the line. Six towers. Seven breeds of creep. One winding path.

THE FULL GAME UNLOCKS โ€ข All 25 waves + endless mode โ€ข A second battlefield โ€” The Quarry, where terrain fights back. Golems terraform the ground as they march, ore pockets pay out gold when cracked, and a keystone wall splits the map โ€” hold it or watch the shortcut open โ€ข Tower-smashing GOLEMS โ€” armored bruisers that stop to wreck your towers โ€ข WARDENS that raise energy shields โ€” burst them before they recharge โ€ข A deployable DWARF hero โ€” a roaming gunner only the wasps can touch, who levels up to repair wrecked towers and mine ore for gold โ€ข Bosses and the final victory stand โ€ข The global online leaderboard โ€” submit your score and claim your rank SIX TOWERS, EVERY ONE USEFUL Gunner, Cannon, Frost, Venom, Tesla, Sniper โ€” each with upgrades and a role. Freeze a swarm, chain-zap a cluster, poison the tanks, or snipe through armor. There's no single right build. AN ORIGINAL SCORE A title theme by IVEM BEATS plays you in, and every tower fires its own sound โ€” know what's shooting without looking.

Weapon Tower

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.
