In the year 2137, an unexpected threat emerges at a European Space Authority research base near the Korolev Crater: ancient creatures awaken from the ice. Your mission is to protect the base, uncover Martian secrets, and prepare for an epic battle!

When scientists at the Mars research base uncovered a hidden truth, they triggered a chain of events that would shake humanity to its core. Ancient creatures lurking beneath the ice began their assault on the outpost, threatening to wipe out the entire team. With no other choice, an SOS was sent to Lowell City in Eos Chasma, urging for immediate backup. Meanwhile, the team at the research base must do anything to survive until help comes. The fate of the European Space Authority and humanity lies in their hands.

UNFAMILIAR TERRAIN, FAMILIAR GAMEPLAY

Step foot on the red planet like never before as you engage in a thrilling tower defence experience. The familiar gameplay mechanics of strategically placing towers and upgrading abilities merge seamlessly with the unfamiliar Martian landscape.

A WORLD OF MYSTERIES

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Mars as it comes to life through stunning voxel art graphics. The blend of intricate Martian terrain and mysterious creatures will transport you to a breathtakingly unique environment.

SECRETS WAITING TO BE UNVEILED

Join the European Space Authority's researchers as they uncover the captivating story behind these ancient Martian beings. Discover their origins, motivations, and connection to humanity, all while facing the challenges of protecting your base from their relentless attacks.

PROTECT AND PRESERVE

Utilise cutting-edge technology and innovative tactics to fortify your base against the Martian invaders. Build towers, deploy mines, call suborbital strikes, and adapt your strategy in real time to outmanoeuvre your enemies and keep the research team safe.

STRATEGIC MINDS WANTED

Show off your strategic prowess by experimenting with various defense setups and resource management techniques. Choose from a variety of tower types, each with unique abilities to counter the different types of Martian creatures. Adapt to their tactics and outsmart them to ensure the survival of humanity's presence on Mars.

This game is a project that holds a special place in my heart, one that I have created entirely on my own as a solo developer, yet it's been inspired by a wealth of experiences and lessons from my past. I'd be more than happy to receive feedback on the game, and I encourage you to share your thoughts - any suggestions or ideas for making it better are welcome!
