🗼 Play Tower Defense Online
Build towers, hold the line, survive every wave. Free multiplayer, 1–4 players, ~6 min matches — no signup required, and an empty seat never means a stalled match.
How to play Tower Defense
Build towers to stop 12 waves of creeps — lose if they drain all your lives.
Watching a horde funnel down the road while your gold total ticks up creates a constant push-pull between spending now and saving for later.
- Pick a tower type from the tray at the bottom
- Tap an empty grass tile near the road to build it
- Tap a tower to select it, then upgrade or sell
- Tap "Start wave" to send the next wave in early
💡 Don't overspend early — save gold for upgrades once you see which lane needs more firepower.
💡 Sell and rebuild towers on weaker lanes once you see which path the creeps favor, rather than sticking with your first layout.
