Your Defense IS the Music

In Groove Defense, every tower you place adds a new layer to an evolving soundtrack.

  • Drop a Drum Kit: Get a driving beat.

  • Place a Bass Tower: Feel the low end kick in.

  • Stack Synths & Keytars: Compose a rich, melodic defense in real-time.

This isn't just background music. Enemies move to your beat. Towers fire on rhythm. The track you build is the strategy you execute.

Fight the Frequency

Soundwave-corrupted creatures are flooding the stage, and they aren't here for the encore. Each enemy type requires a specific tactical response:

  • Walkers: Sluggish waveform bodies that soak up damage.

  • Runners: Sprinting skeletal legs that move between the beats.

  • Swarmers: Spectral wings that bypass ground defenses.

  • Tanks: Skull-laden masses that absorb massive punishment.

Adapt your composition or watch your stage fall. Every wave changes the tempo—can you keep up?

Multiple Genres, Infinite Grooves

Switch up your sound across distinct musical battlegrounds, each with unique tower sounds and enemy behaviors:

  • Synthwave: Retro-futuristic arpeggios, pulsing rhythms, and neon energy.

  • Slasher Flick: Tense synths, creeping dread, and horror movie intensity.

  • 2010s Pop: Polished hooks, four-on-the-floor beats, and radio-ready defense.

More genres coming soon!

Key Features

  • Musical Tower Defense: Towers are instruments. Your placement creates the soundtrack.

  • Dynamic Audio Layering: Build from total silence to a full-scale production as you grow your defense.

  • Strategic Depth: Master tower synergies, enemy counters, and genre-specific tactics.

  • A Living Performance: Every sound, loop, and beat is designed to make gameplay feel like a live set.

From an Award-Winning Composer

Groove Defense is crafted by a professional film composer who wanted to create a world where music isn't just a feature—it’s the foundation. Experience a game where the mechanics and the melodies are one and the same.

Build the beat. Destroy the horde. Your defense is the music.
