About this game
Do you have what it takes to protect your base from relentless enemy hordes in a constantly changing environment? There's only one way to find out.
Tides of Lava is a Roguelike Tower Defense game with several unique features not typically found in traditional tower defense games.
1. Tower Modifications: Every 2.5 minutes you'll receive a tower modification that applies to all towers of the same type. Combine these mods to customize your towers!
2. Grid-based building system: Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a grid-based building system.
3. No resources: Manage your builders efficiently as there are no other resource constraints.
4. Dynamic Enemy Paths: Enemy paths change over time, keeping you on your toes!
5. Evolving Environments: Each environment has its own unique quirks and provides you with different challenges.
In Tides of Lava, no two runs are the same due to the changing enemy paths and environments. When you die, it's game over—you'll need to restart with only your gained experience to help you progress further. How many attempts will it take for you to conquer the game?
