Swarm Surge

Swarm Surge

Roguelike tower defense with permadeath. 10-15 minute runs where every upgrade decision matters.

• Defend your base through 10 waves of bugs.
• Each tower can be upgraded 5 times, getting stronger but more expensive.
• After each wave, pick 1 of 3 random cards - new tower types, stat boosts that stack infinitely, or special effects like pierce and explosions. 
• No two runs play the same.

Do you build a few maxed-out powerhouses or spam cheap towers for coverage?

Controls: 

• Click to place/upgrade towers
• Right-click to sell
• Spacebar pauses the game.

The challenge: Your base has 100 HP. Bugs deal 10 damage each. Early waves go easy on you. By wave 7, you need a solid build or you're dead. One life, no saves.
