Play Tower Defense free online — build and upgrade towers to stop 16 waves of enemies. Three tower types, a boss fight, and clean mobile controls.

Tower Defense is a classic strategy game where you defend your base against wave after wave of advancing enemies. Enemies march along a fixed winding path, and your job is to line that path with towers that blast them before they reach the end. It runs straight in your browser — no download, no sign-up, free on phone or desktop.
You have three towers to work with. The Arrow tower is cheap and fires fast at a single target. The Cannon is slow but deals heavy splash damage to whole groups. The Frost tower chills enemies in an area, slowing them so your other towers get more shots in. Every tower can be upgraded twice for more damage and range, and selling one refunds most of its cost.
Gold comes from every enemy you destroy and from clearing each wave. Spend it wisely — between waves you build and upgrade, then press Start Wave when you are ready. There are 16 waves in all, with a heavily armoured boss on waves 8 and 16. Each enemy that slips past costs you lives; lose them all and the base falls. Hold the line through wave 16 to win.
Tap a tower in the bottom bar, then tap an empty tile to build it. Towers automatically shoot enemies in range. Press Start Wave to send the next wave, and keep enemies from reaching the end of the path.
The Arrow tower fires fast at one target for low cost. The Cannon fires slowly but deals splash damage to groups. The Frost tower slows every enemy in its area while dealing light damage.
Tap any tower you have already placed. The bottom bar shows an Upgrade button — each tower can be upgraded twice for more damage and range. You can also sell a tower for most of its cost back.
Runners are fast and fragile, Soldiers are balanced, and Tanks are slow but heavily armoured. On waves 8 and 16 a powerful boss appears that takes many hits and costs extra lives if it gets through.
You earn gold for every enemy destroyed and a bonus for clearing each wave. Spend it on new towers and upgrades between waves — managing your economy is the core of the strategy.
Yes. The board is laid out for portrait phone screens, and you build, upgrade and start waves entirely by tapping. No app or install is needed.
Survive all 16 waves with at least one life remaining. Your score is based on the waves you clear, gold banked and lives saved, and your best score is stored in your browser.
