27 tower talents

Every tower upgrades twice. At Mk III you choose one of three talents, and its crown takes the talent's color. Turn a Vulcan into a lightning gun with Storm Rounds, set the lane on fire with Napalm missiles, freeze the grid with Blizzard, or fund your defense with a Bounty Drone.

Every fifth wave

Bosses that break the map

Every fifth wave, a boss arrives and tears into your defense. Spore.exe crash-lands and leaves a crater. A three-headed serpent rolls through the center of the grid. Kraken.net tears out your most valuable towers. In the final sector, half the map collapses and a colossal eye rises from the void.

Nine towers, four abilities

EMP stuns the whole grid. Lance calls an orbital strike where you tap. Overclock pushes every tower to max output. Firewall blocks and burns the lane.

Five sectors, Hard mode, endless

Neo-Grid, Data Stream, Mainframe, Cryo Vault and The Core each bring a new layout, new threats and two bosses. Clear them all to unlock Hard mode, then see how long you last in Overflow, the endless mode.

Sandbox and Threat Database

Practice on any map with infinite credits and a spawn panel for every enemy and boss. Every threat you meet is logged, so you can analyze its tactics and exploit it for bonus damage.
