How to play

Learn the objective before jumping into a new run.

  • Select a tower from the build controls and click a valid place on the map.
  • Start waves only after your coverage can handle the route's next pressure point.
  • The game ends when the defense falls; its final score and completed wave are then available to the platform.

Controls

Keyboard and touch instructions for this game.

  • Choose a tower from the local build controls, then click a valid map position.
  • Start each wave only after checking coverage around the route.
  • The reviewed result is offered when the defense ends and includes the actual completed wave.

Tips

Small habits that can improve your score.

  • Prioritize corners and long sightlines where one tower can affect more of the route.
  • Hold some resources for the next wave instead of spending everything on the earliest placement.
  • Watch where leaks happen and rebuild coverage around that exact route segment.

FAQ

Quick answers for common questions.

Does the result include the wave number?

How is the Daily target measured?

The challenge compares the normal final defense score against its configured target without changing the game's rules.

Modifications

  • Copied the pinned English canvas build and MIT notice into an immutable local package.
  • Removed upstream external navigation and replaced it with local attribution.
  • Added a nonce-protected lifecycle, resize, and game-over score Bridge that reports the actual defense score and wave.
  • Added strict package CSP with no network dependencies.
  • Added a native canvas touch path that maps touch placement and hover to the reviewed game input loop.
  • Added a post-layout ResizeObserver so the host frame follows the visible defense board without an internal scrollbar.
