A tower defense where damage is a matter of pitch, your beams only bite when their tune matches an enemy's color, and some foes only fall to a blended note.
Was this fun?
How to play
Defend the Core at the end of a winding lane. Place emitters beside the path and tune each one to the color of the enemies passing by, a matched frequency melts them, a mismatch does nothing. Overlap two emitters and their beams mix into a new color, the only way to crack enemies that resist any single pure tone. Survive ten waves to win.
The Core has limited health; every enemy that reaches it costs you one, and at zero it's game over.
Tune emitters to match enemy colors, the closer the match, the more damage.
Overlap emitters to MIX a new frequency and defeat Chord enemies that need a blended beam.
Earn energy from kills and cleared waves; spend it on more emitters and upgrades.
Controls
Desktop: click to place an emitter, press 1-4 to pick a type, and tune with the color bar, the mouse wheel or the [ and ] keys; click a tower to re-tune it, press S to sell, and Space to start the next wave.
Phone & tablet: built around mouse and keyboard input, a desktop or laptop is recommended.
Tips & strategy
Watch the active colors rotate each wave and re-tune your existing emitters instead of only building new ones.
Place a Mixer where two beams overlap so their blended color can break Chord enemies.
Drifters slowly slide their frequency, a wide, forgiving Resonator covers them better than a sharp single beam.
Save energy for Sharper, Range and Power upgrades; one well-tuned cluster outperforms a sprawl of mismatched towers.
