features
Energy is health
Energy doubles as your health. Spending it on towers puts you at risk; drain it completely and it's game over.
Live weather cycle
A live weather cycle (Rain, Cloudy, Normal, Sunny) shifts your solar recharge rate mid-wave, forcing you to adapt on the fly.
Five tower types
Five tower types with distinct roles: basic shooter, piercing laser, area damage, slow, and an energy booster that amplifies nearby towers.
Upgrade paths
Each tower has two independent upgrade paths with three levels, letting you specialize your build.
Shop phases
Between-wave shop phases to regroup, adjust your layout, and prepare for the next push.

how to play
Manage your power effectively while defending against waves of enemies. Place and upgrade towers strategically, but the more towers you have and the more you upgrade them, the more power they consume. If you run out of power, you lose.
Power recharges through solar energy, which is affected by the weather cycle. Keep an eye on the forecast. To open the upgrade menu, select a placed tower. You can also delete towers this way. Upkeep is the passive cost of having a tower on the field; it increases when the tower is actively shooting.
