What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Given how we want to ultimately dish out updates and the lot, we'd like for everyone to start enjoying it! Let us know what's up, and be part of this project that we've worked on and played for hundreds of hours (so far).
We feel like we should go this route since while there's plenty of content, there isn't anything to 'cap-it-all-off' and give you the conclusion you deserve after your great adventure.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in early access until the end-game is properly capped off and then some. A proper plan should be visible someplace when the time comes that outline specifically what we'll be doing!
Alongside that, frequent posts are available on our Discord to double check we're doing good (;
All in all, it should take as long as we need, given the work power of two people. But less than it took to make this game!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full game will feature all sorts of maps, variants of said maps, mechanics, and a solid end-game round of content. Alongside that we hope to bring a proper set of features to really hone in your scoring and multiplayer presence.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game as of current state contains the main set of Vessels (controllable characters), the mainline set of maps, and basically the full TDS experience without all the fluff.
We want the fluff, you deserve the fluff (The fluff is a good thing in this case).”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Probably not, we hope everyone can enjoy the journey with us up until we're done! And those who follow after!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have extremely open channels in which we want to involve everyone such as our Discord. Where we're posting literally everyday on our progress. For a game like this ideas, suggestions, and more are what we're driven to search for. A good time is a must!”

About This Game

Defend your Basin, it must stand.

TDS is a Tower Defense, Real-Time Strategy Hybrid at its core. Build up, defend, and survive the Tides that approach.


Control a Vessel, they are your anchor to the world.
Vessels in themselves are both a unit and a tower. Control them to mine, fight, and build your defense. Each of which comes with their own set of extremely unique towers to help in this endeavor.

Towers, units. Simple yet deep.
Expand your defense through an extremely rich set of upgrades that all play off one another. Synergistic in nature, there are many combinations and strategies you can employ to increase your effective hold. Towers can expand on one another, Vessels can too.

Outsmart, overpower.
Placement is key; you can make it through by sheer power, but you can also do so through your wit. There are many points in which your actions have a bearing more than simply upgrading to the next best thing. Create an ultra powerful single tower, create an impenetrable wall. You can even beat whole areas utilizing no towers* (Please fact check me on this)

TDS is better with friends!
Play with up to 3 of your fellow Vessels and defend together! There are infinitely more combinations and strategies when you play with friends (including goofy cheese ones)



The game has challenges for all with areas containing all matters of difficulty. Expect resistance, but also have a fun time!
