A mazing tower defense where tower placement is everything. Force enemies the long way around, build choke points, push through lava, and adapt as levels change beneath you. No spells, no card modifiers. Just planning, placement, and a cat stuck in a jar.

About This Game

A cat is stuck in a jar. It's your problem now.

Black Cat Defense is a mazing tower defense for people who miss the pure form of TD. Placing a tower in the right spot to force enemies the long way around, make them walk over level hazards and create choke points for your splash zone. No spells, no first-person shooting, no random card modifiers. Just planning, placement, and upgrades.

Build towers. Force enemies through lava. Adapt to melting ice blocks crack as heat sources reshape the level around you. Send the next wave early and pocket the bonus.

The cat trapped in the jar has opinions about all of this. They are not helpful.

Features

  • True mazing, no predefined tower locations

  • Hand crafted levels that change as you play

  • Early send mechanic with risk-weighted bonuses

  • Tower upgrade trees with branching specialisations

  • Hazard tiles - force enemies to step on them

  • A boss to defeat every 10 waves

I should probably mention that this game is kind of hard.

I built it because I missed the old-school flash tower defense games that didn't hold your hand. As a result, you’ll probably watch your defenses fall apart more than once. I consider that part of the fun.

Made by one person who just wanted to play a game like this and couldn't find one.

Powered by the open-source GODOT game engine. <3
