How a match works
Every player gets the same lane. You defend yours and attack everyone else's at the same time, and income is the thing you are really fighting over.
02Send
15 to 250,000gUnits you buy spawn at the top of a rival's lane. Each send adds 6–11% of its cost to your income for good, whether it survives or not. Pricier units convert at the better rate.
03Survive
40 livesAnything that reaches your exit takes 1–6 lives, depending on its cost. Lose all 40 and your lane falls. The last player with lives left wins.

Four barracks, one wave
Barracks I is open from the start. Each next barracks costs gold once and sends heavier units that raise your income faster. What you send tells the table what your towers can't handle.

Every tower has a job
Two cheap basics climb to level 3 and then branch into a specialist line. There is nothing to research first, since a level-3 basic can reach any line. Pick by what's hitting you, not by what looks strong.

Before you queue
Q1Is it free?
Yes. Every mode, unit and tower is free. The only things for sale are four cosmetic board themes at $3.99 each, and they never change stats.
Q2Do I need to download it?
Not on a computer. It runs in any modern browser. On iPhone and iPad you can use the browser or the free App Store app.
Q3How many players?
Two to ten in one match, seven by default. You can also play solo against bots at three difficulties, and solo games can run at 2x or 4x speed.
Q4Can I play with friends?
Create a lobby and share its link or 5-letter code. Friends can join as guests, with no account needed.
Q5Is there ranked?
Yes. A match counts for rank when every seat is a human player. Bot games never touch your rank.
Q6Is it fair on slow connections?
Matches run in deterministic lockstep, so every player runs the same simulation and sees the same result. The server steps it 20 times a second.
Your lane is open.
Solo matches against bots need no account and no download.
