Build the maze. Make them walk. Then watch your towers tear them apart. MazeTD is tower defense where YOU design the path. Every tower is a wall: place them to bend, stretch and double back the route so creeps spend as long as possible under fire. A clever maze beats raw power. 40+ RACES, 700+ TOWERS Fire, frost, storms, dragons, gamblers, gunsmiths, the restless dead and more. Every race has its own hand-built towers, upgrades and tricks, from a humble cinder pit to a sun-crowned spire, and at wave 15 you add a second race to build a combo nobody else has. PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Co-op: hold the line together on a shared map, each defending your own section. • Wars: up to 8 players, each in their own lane. Send creeps at your rivals, grow your income, and be the last one standing. • Smart bots fill any empty seat, so a game is always ready. PLAY AT YOUR PACE • Games save as you play: continue any time, even an online game (bots take your friends' spots). • Call the next wave early and speed up to 3x. Online, the team votes. • Point a tower at the creep you want dead. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • Three daily challenges with their own leaderboards: Classic, Twist and Wars. • Keep your streak alive for exclusive rewards. • Challenge a friend to beat your exact game with a code.
