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.
