Your Presence Is Delaying Progress

Thousands of robots are coming through, and you have to keep the last way out open. Build towers, deploy squads and call in rocket strikes in this single-player tower defense game. The machines were built to rebuild our cities. Apparently, we’re in the way.

How to join

Free Playtest keys are up for grabs: just drop Dawid a friendly note at [email protected] and he'll send you one. No purchase or review needed. It's an early beta, so settle in for a 20 to 30 minute session, hold the line against swarms of thousands of robots, mix tower types and dig into the big upgrade tree (damage breakdowns and battle stats included), then try the campaign or chase a leaderboard spot in Endless mode. Dawid would love to hear how your first battles felt, whether the difficulty clicks, which upgrades tempted you, and whether you could still read the battlefield once the screen filled with robots.
