About this game

An idle tower defense in a pixel fantasy kingdom. Your village gathers, your army auto-battles, your tower rains arrows — it all runs on its own while you watch. But the bow on the wall is yours to draw, whenever the night gets loud.

Workers chop wood, mine gold and herd meat — all on their own. Your army auto-battles. Your tower auto-fires. Your spells self-cast. Sit back and watch hundreds of pixel troops clash at 60 FPS, or grab the controls whenever you want. Active when you want it. Idle when you don't.

The waves never stop coming — there is no game over, only the next dusk. Every 5 waves a new modifier flips the rules: Burning Ground, Armored Horde, Glass Cannon, Necromancer and more. And the game watches you back — dynamic difficulty adapts to how fast you clear, sending elite squads when you steamroll and easing off when you struggle.

Enemies don't just swarm — they arrive in company formations. Five shapes: Crescent, Shield Wall, Wedge, Pincer and Fan. They hold rank in lockstep, march on your line, then breach it wave by wave. Real-time-tactics chaos, fought automatically.

Every 5th wave brings a boss. Every 25th brings a screen-filling TITAN — it telegraphs, charges, dashes through your ranks and flings your soldiers into the air. 18 unique enemies, 17 special abilities (web shots, ground slams, exploding dynamite, shell guards) and 6 mutations keep every horde dangerous.

30 spells across 9 elements — Fire, Ice, Lightning, Holy, Poison, Dark, Earth, Water and Special. Build a deck (3 slots, expand to 10) and chain 15 cross-element combos: Apocalypse Drop, Absolute Zero, Superconductor, Golden Execution. Ultimate spells fill the whole screen.

Your troops grow stronger as they fight. Watch them evolve: Bronze → Silver → Gold → Diamond → and beyond. Power you can see — every tier a new metallic shine, every rank a visible step up. There is no final tier, only the next color.

End a reign, begin a stronger one. Prestige to earn permanent Crowns and spend them across 9 Crown Shop tracks that never cap out. Each run, draw from a pool of 36 roguelike perks — risk-and-reward picks that reshape how you play.

Your army holds the line on its own. The tower doesn't. Aim your arrows, time your spell combos, hold the gate at the worst moment — or step back and let the kingdom fight while you plan the next upgrade. The choice is always yours.

There is no ceiling. A 16-node skill tree across 3 branches, enemy research, Plague Covenant pacts, 100+ achievements and full 30-language support. Whether it's Wave 1 or Wave 1000, the climb never ends — only the hand that draws the next arrow.

Balance - Evolution bonus scaling updated: - Damage / Healing: stronger per-tier gains. - HP: stronger per-tier gains. - Movement Speed: new per-tier bonus. - Army late-game scaling now takes upgrades, abilities, evolution, prestige power, and current wave progress into account.

Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue where some waves could give no XP when enemies were killed through special/tamed/charmed interactions. - Fixed evolve UI using clamped Diamond tier display, which hid post-Diamond progress. - Fixed healer evolve bonuses being displayed incorrectly as damage. Localization - Added/updated evolution bonus and description localization keys across all localization JSON files. - Evolution tooltip text now supports the new damage/heal/HP/speed display in every language file.
