About

Crumb Raiders

Features
Read full description

The ants are marching for your pie — and YOU decide the path they take. Crumb Raiders is a maze tower defense with a twist: you don't defend a fixed lane. Drag down walls to carve the maze yourself, funneling the ant swarm past your turrets before they reach the picnic. BUILD THE MAZE - Drag walls to shape the ants' route — every wall costs gold, so each one is a real choice - Ants wander toward the pie organically — no two runs funnel the same way ONE TURRET, MANY BUILDS - Place Turrets, then specialize each one down a branching upgrade tree - Choose a PATH — Gatling (twin-barrel swarm-clearer), Cannon (long-range sniper) or Mortar (splash) - Then a CAPSTONE — Shredder, Piercer, Railgun, Twin-Bore, Carpet or Cluster SURVIVE ENDLESS WAVES - One relentless colony that grows tougher and faster every wave - Earn a Medal, bonus gold and a Crumb Crate every 10 waves survived - Follow the Crumb Trail: a reward every time you set a new best wave PICNIC MISSIONS & THE COLONY RAID - 4 fresh Picnic Missions every day, sized to how far you've pushed — finish them all to unpack the Picnic Basket - Every week the colony launches a Colony Raid on six fronts, from the Scout Party to the Queen's Charge — repel them all for the Victory Feast PIE RIBBONS & TITLES - 42 ribbons with Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond tiers — plus hidden crumbs to discover - Unlock titles to wear, and keep your whole career in the Picnic Log GROW FOREVER - Spend Medals in the 48-node Medal Tree for permanent power across every run - Tower Mastery: rack up kills for permanent damage stars - Crumb Crates hold turret skins and one-run boosters - Daily login streak rewards CLIMB THE WEEKLY LEADERBOARD - Push your deepest wave each week on the Game Center leaderboard and earn bonus Medals - Plays fully offline — no account, no sign-up - Progress backs up to the cloud and restores itself after a reinstall Defend the pie. One crumb at a time.
