[ 2023-07-08 22:08:22 CET ] [ Original post ] TAU CUBIS is a Tower Defense game in a sci-fi environment.
- To stop the enemy invasion, you must build, upgrade and configure your towers strategically while managing your resource.
Each tower is autonomous but will follow your choice of priority targets.

- TAU CUBIS is a Real PathFinding Tower Defense game.
Your choices immediately modify the dynamic of the fight for the whole map.
Each enemy is autonomous and there is no predefined path !

- Each map is playable in several modes and can be solved in various ways.
Each game session takes place on a chosen map, in a chosen mode and will take between 5 to 10 minutes.
Will you be able to win all the trophies ?

- Compare Your score to the best scores or just your Friends' through the Steam Leaderboards.
Final version will include Steam Achievements as well.

- Gamepad or Mouse and Keyboard : your choice !
Note from the developer:
I'd like to offer you a good Tower Defense game with colorful graphics and smart mechanics for a fair price :)
TAU CUBIS is a solo game development and is NOT story driven and does NOT feature cinematic.
But TAU CUBIS offers quick sessions of gaming with 100+ trophies for a lot of hours of gaming.
Don't hesitate to contact me for any questions or feedback at taucubis@cubemandarine.com !
