- Build towers and sacrifice humans to defend your base against invaders!

How to Play

(Instructions at beginning of game)

To stop enemies from reaching and damaging your base, you'll need to build turrets from the panel on the right. More turrets will be unlocked as you progress through the waves.

If any enemy is red/appears to be quickly growing & shrinking, this is an advanced enemy which cannot be killed by turrets. You'll need to sacrifice a human to kill him: Do this by clicking a human from the top panel then clicking the enemy.

You can used WASD or arrow keys to scroll the camera view and get around the map.

I won it~

Fun game. It's kind of easy when you know that the path the enemies take is simple, but I did lose the first playthrough. It really helped how I could sell my old turrets at full price. I also thought I'd run out of humans before the game ended, but it makes that it couldn't happen.

I really suck at tower defense games. :) I liked it, the mechanics work well, and you really have to sacrifice in order to win the game. Good one, keep it up! ;)

Like the graphics, game is explained well in the beginning and game play works as you would expect from a tower defence game. I feel like the sacrifice mechanic at this moment is not really a sacrifice to the player, since I see no other use for these fleshy humans to stay alive. Other than that, good polish, well done!

I really liked that the defense towers shoot their damages at enemies. The pixel art is really well done too! I wish that the text scroll at the start was a bit quicker (or skippable) and that escape didn't immediately quit the game (since I hit it a few times trying to drop the selected tower). Overall, well done!

The "human sacrifice" mechanic isn't really a sacrifice. They are not even smart bombs. It feels forced. I guess it is because it was the theme. Maybe I could sacrifice towers instead?
