Tower Defense

Place towers along a winding path, watch the first enemy wave roll in, and immediately start second-guessing your build. Tower Defense is a canvas-based strategy game where you choose from multiple tower types — each with different range, fire rate, and damage — and position them before each wave of increasingly tough enemies reaches the exit. Spending your starting gold on fast, cheap towers or saving up for a single powerhouse in the right chokepoint is the kind of decision that shapes the whole run.

It's a clean take on a classic arcade games formula: no filler, just the core loop of planning, building, and watching your defenses hold or crumble. If you enjoy methodical planning with a ticking clock, Chess scratches a similar "think one move ahead" itch when you want a turn-based change of pace.

The game plays entirely with mouse clicks, so no keyboard needed — it runs well on a laptop trackpad and loads fast enough for a quick session between meetings.
