Tower Lab ·

Tower defence without a single health bar.

Fans, magnets and gravity wells turn robot waves into a physics problem.

Why it caught our eye

None of your towers deal damage, because the robots don’t have health. You have to push them off the map. That one rule makes Tower Lab much more interesting to us than another set of bigger damage numbers.

Draft a deck of towers and chain their effects into contraptions. Shrink robots, change projectiles or throw a bomb yourself. The appeal is finding a satisfying way to move the whole crowd somewhere it really shouldn’t be.
