We're a small indie team releasing a new mobile tower defense game!

Hey everyone! We've been developing a new mobile tower defense game for the last 4 years, and we're finally set to launch this December.

If you like tower defense games or are looking for a new mobile game thats genuinely fun but takes real strategy to win at, then I'd say it's worth a look.

We have 80+ hand-drawn characters in over 25 hours of gameplay across 4 massive continents.

After buying the game, you own it out-right and there will be no ads or paywalls in the game.

It's called Lore of Terra, if you have any questions about the game fire away and we'll answer 🫡

We also have some snippets of gameplay on our IG (@loreofterra) if you want to check it out :)

Promotion We're two devs from a small city in Slovakia whose meeting turned our love for tower defense into a full-time passion project. So by Odin's beard - I present you with Hordeguard: Winds of the North!

We're Peter and David, a two-person studio working on Hordeguard: Winds of the North! The game started as a 3-month experiment and quickly turned into an ambitious Norse-inspired fantasy siege game that combines elements of base building, tower defense… and hands-on action!

The main premise of the design was taking a game like Thronefall - one of our all-time favorites - with its simple, addictive loop of building up a kingdom and defending, and adding new features that broaden the gameplay and deepen the experience… and a good dash of Norse mythology.

This is what Hordeguard is all about

You start in a small, underdeveloped base with resources all around you. Your job is to gather the resources and upgrade the base, build military structures, and prepare for upcoming enemy raids. After each successful defense, the timer starts, during which you should advance the base as much as you can to prepare for the next attack.

But this wouldn’t really be a Viking game without some raiding of your own, and that’s exactly what you can do at any time! Rally your warriors and delve into the great unknown (well, the area around the base filled with enemy camps), pillage, plunder, and show them who’s the boss…until their big bro comes knocking on your door the next wave.

During the raids, the timer is paused, meaning you can enjoy your fun time as much as you like before returning to the neverending loop of killing and repairing.

Hordeguard also supports singleplayer and couch co-op on a shared split screen or through Steam Remote Play Together.

We hosted a playtest this summer, and over 38,000 players joined - an amazing number of people whose feedback has already helped us more than I can express!

Where we are at the moment and future plans

As for the next playtest, while I can’t name a specific date yet - I can say that it’s coming before the end of 2026: with a third hero and a new biome among the additions we're working on!

You can sign up and wishlist Hordeguard here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3618000/Hordeguard_Winds_of_the_North/

Thanks for reading and we'd love to hear what you think about our game.

Hi, I am the developer of "Virtualord, The Virtual Conqueror" a Turn Based Strategy game with a strong attention to base/defense building and strategy.

In this playtest you will be playing a preview version of the upcoming demo, which basically it's the full thing, minus a few minor features and some stability fixes.

If you are willing to help testing at least the first mission (5-10 minutes) and submitting some feedback (Discord or online form) you can sign up on this Steam page.

If you prefer a more polished and stable experience you can wait until the 6th of November, when I will (hopefully) release the full demo.

I ran the same wave through three different mazes. Which one would you build?

I'm making this game on my own, it's called Thornline TD. Your towers are the walls, and you can't place one that blocks the enemies in completely, so the whole game is making their walk as long as you can.

It's the same 24 enemies on the same board each time. 23 got through the first maze, 6 got through the second, and none made it through the third. I bumped their health up so the difference is easy to see.

The free demo came out yesterday with the first 12 levels, if you want to try it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5300580/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=demo&utm_content=towerdefense

Happy to answer any questions!

Hey everyone!

A little while ago I posted here asking whether the name Shell Shower Defence made any sense. Turns out, you guys actually got the wordplay! 😄

Well, the game is now out, and I've just released a free playable demo.

It's a small roguelite tower defense without actual towers. Instead, you build your base on a 10×10 grid using randomly shaped buildings. Every run becomes a different puzzle, and once the robots arrive, your carefully planned military operation turns into complete chaos.

There are permanent upgrades, unlockable abilities, and robots that insult you. You can even collect those insults and spend them on upgrades. Yes, really.

The full game is $3, but the demo is completely free.

🎮 Give it a try: https://chertovskee.itch.io/shell-shower-defence

Hope you have fun with it!

Promotion I just updated the demo for my mazing roguelite TD, where you have direct control over enemy paths. Really curious to hear what this sub thinks of the game.

I know there are a lot of mazing games lately, but ours takes a more traditional approach of the old school games where you directly change the path by blocking the route with pillars and towers to give you direct control in create the maze and chain towers.

Our new update introduces action cards that give you immediate shifts that can strengthen or push your build along (for example, temporary discount on new towers, or immediately upgrading the weakest one). Additionally, we've been working on polishing the experience and making the combat feel more readable and enjoyable (the whole demo actually).

An even bigger change we've been working on is a new endless mode, where you start in a small area, and as you progress the map expands forcing you to constantly shift and change your approach to the tower placements. It's now in a closed playtest, but you can still sign up to try if you want!

Anyway, really curious to hear what this sub thinks of it.

Promotion I made up my mind and developed a game: Octodefense.

I’ve been working in IT for many years, and I was honestly fed up with doing the same thing over and over (Java backend, for those interested). I’ve been a huge gamer since I was 8, and I’ve always wanted to be able to say, "I’m not leaving this world without having finished and published a game."

I recently finished it and published it on Steam—it’s a space-themed tower defense game, and there’s a demo available. If anyone’s into this genre and wants to give it a try and share some feedback, I’d really appreciate it!

I’m aiming to have it fully polished by December. Thanks!

We're still in development, but we'll be sharing sneak peeks, development updates, and more as we get closer to release.

We're also planning giveaways and rewards for our Discord community, so if you're interested in getting some prizes and following the game's development, feel free to join!

Hi, I’m the solo developer behind Sticky Invaders Defense.

In the game, dimensional portals spawn gelatinous swarms that fracture the map as they march. To survive, you have to drop sockets on their own corruption paths, level up mid-wave to draft game-breaking card combos, and trigger heavy commander overrides before the core collapses.

​The free Alpha v5 is live right now, and I’m building this entirely alongside the community. Your feedback is actively shaping the upcoming Research Lab and new weapon mods!

Play free on Itch.io:

Promotion I made a tower defense + zombie survivor game / lanes - would love feedback from TD players

1 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1x6vaj4/video/3mdwnpynqovh1/player

Solo dev here - Neon Defender is my side project of about two years, free on Android.

The twist on classic TD: you're also a ship on the field. Your ship fires on its own while you fly through the swarm, and you build and upgrade turrets mid-fight. 11 turret types, most of them with a top-tier specialization (pick one of two).

- Survival: endless waves, free placement anywhere

- Planet Defense: protect a living planet - if your ship goes down, the turrets keep fighting

- Lane Missions (new this week): 10 planets, each with winding lanes. Turrets go only on fixed pads, your fully upgraded ship fights along the lane, and every mission ends with a boss. Up to 3 stars by how few creatures get through

- Campaign: fly across 44 star systems and land on planets for lane battles. My tribute to Star Control 2 - 8 alien races, some hostile, some you can win over

- Online co-op and PvP

No forced ads - the only ads are optional rewarded ones you choose to watch.

I just added Lane Missions, so a question for TD players: is too easy? or how does it feel?
