The merge

Fuse two of a kind. Watch it climb.

Every defender starts Common. Merge a matching pair and it jumps a tier. Reach Legendary and it can evolve mid-battle into one of three specialist forms - each with its own trick.

  • Blaster
  • Laser
  • Tesla
  • Cryo
  • Missile
  • EMP
  • Flak

Fifteen defender families, each fighting its own way - with boss-only waves testing every build.

Co-op

Two lanes. Two players. One heart.

You defend the bottom lane, your partner defends the top - and you share a single health bar. One leak hurts you both, so every merge and every mine counts. Team up in real-time online co-op, or hold both lanes solo with an AI ally.
