About This Game

Hold the Tower. Together.

They keep coming: from the left, from the right, from the sky and from under the ground. One lone Tower stands between them and the end. Grab a gun, rally up to three friends, and turn that Tower into a fortress before the next wave hits.

They Keep Coming is a pixel-art co-op survival shooter for 1 to 4 players. You are the main weapon: run, dash and shoot across a side-view battlefield while the Tower you build together controls and softens the horde. Survive 70 designed waves and 7 bosses, then see how far you get in Endless.

Two currencies, one team

  • Gold is shared. Every kill fills one team pool, spent at the Tower console on turrets, walls, traps, rooms and new floors. Every purchase is announced, and anything bought during the current intermission refunds in full, so mistakes are cheap.
  • Combat Points are yours. Earn them from kills, assists, revives and repairs, and spend them on your own hero. Assists share the reward, so nobody falls behind because someone else landed the last hit.

Build a Tower that is yours


  • Grow from 2 to 6 floors. Every floor adds two turret mounts and a room.
  • Archer, Cannon and Tesla lines, each branching twice into 4 capstones: Volley, Venom, Ballista, Sniper Nest, Siege Mortar, Flak, Dragon's Breath, Thunderhead, Stasis, Nullifier and more.
  • Walls and traps on both flanks: Ramparts that Jumpers can't leap, Razor Walls, Tar Pits and Powder Mines.
  • Rooms that change how you play: Gold Mine, Vault, Watchtower, Repair Bay, Infirmary, War Banner, Teleport Gates, Resurrection Shrine, Frost Bell, Executioner's Mark and Sky Cannon.
  • Slots are limited, so no two teams build the same Tower.

Become a build, not a class

  • Everyone starts with the same gun. Your role emerges from your choices.
  • Pick 1 of 3 at every milestone: piercing shots, ricochets, burning rounds, charged shots and more.
  • Choose one of 7 specializations, each with its own ability: Rapid, Marksman, Scatter, Demolition, Lancer, Skirmisher or Warden.
  • Rule-breaking keystones, a stat shop with 13 upgrades, and perks weighted toward your build.

Every enemy is a problem to solve

22 enemy types, each with a job. Shieldbearers block your shots, Jumpers leap your walls, Burrowers surface behind your defenses, Parasites shut down turrets until a player knocks them loose, Thieves run off with the team's Gold, and Stalkers hunt whoever strays from the group. Later waves combine them into squads and add Elite and Champion modifiers: Armored, Swift, Vampiric, Explosive, Toxic, Phasing, Golden and more.

Seven bosses


The Ogre, the Brood Mother, the Burrow King, the Twins (one on each side, and both must fall within seconds of each other), the Titan, the Destroyer and the Herald. Each one forces your team to talk.

Endless and daily runs


  • 70 designed waves, then Endless with a new stacking mutator every 10 waves.
  • A seeded wave director: a different run every time, or the same Daily Seed for everyone.
  • Records for every player count, an MVP, and end-of-run titles: Top Damage, Lifesaver, Engineer, Boss Slayer and Kill Thief.
