Dig minerals, manufacture ammunition, and build defense towers to fend off swarms of insects. A tower defense game with light production line elements.
The vast galaxy is entirely occupied by the insect swarm, yet the home planet’s mineral resources are exhausted. To obtain minerals, players are sent as officers to different planets, establishing production lines, extracting minerals, and manufacturing the ammunition needed for defense towers.
Beware of the endless swarm of insects—build your defenses and keep them at bay!
More than ten types of defense towers, each with unique features and multiple upgrade levels. Plan according to the insects’ routes while managing your ammunition and resource consumption. The insect horde grows stronger over time—you will be racing against day and night.

Seamlessly integrate ammunition manufacturing with tower construction. Every bullet your defense towers fire is crafted by you. No need to worry about complex production lines—this game is designed for simplicity, with a progressive ammo crafting system that you can master in just five minutes. Additionally, there is a miniature power supply system.

Feel the oppressive onslaught of tens of thousands of terrifying insects and the thrill of burning them all to ashes. With dozens of different insect types, each planet has its dominant species, putting your strategic abilities to the test.

As you travel to different planets, you will grow from a low-ranking officer to a governor. Use your achievements to purchase building blueprints and technology in the store to face even more powerful insects!
