Your teacup is the last one standing, and the pests want a sip. Last Cup Standing is an idle tower defense game with a tea-time twist. Your cup fires tea leaves automatically at waves of ants, ladybugs, bumblebees, jelly blobs and the Queen Ant. Choose upgrades, build a strategy and see how long your cup can last. DEFEND YOUR LAST CUP Spend the cash you earn during each battle on damage, attack speed, cup durability, healing and income. Cash upgrades last for that run. Earn coins to strengthen future runs, then return for another brew. BUILD YOUR STRATEGY The Pantry holds permanent upgrades and new defensive systems. Equip recipe cards for extra bonuses, improve your teaware, and unlock special weapons and helpful bots. Research continues while the game is closed. KEEP THE KETTLE ON Push through tougher tiers, claim milestone rewards, complete daily orders and take part in tea festivals. Try the weekly Brew-off and compare your best waves on the leaderboards. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME A quick tour explains the main tabs. Tap a battle stat's name or value to see what it does before spending. Adjust music and sound effects separately, and pause or resume a saved brew when you need a break. Cute pests, cosy tea and plenty of strategy. How long can your last cup stand? Free to play, with optional in-app purchases and rewarded ads. Some optional purchases provide currency or vouchers for random recipe cards and teaware; draw odds are displayed in the game.
