Thanks for everyone's patience! ASCII Tower Defense is on the market! Thanks so much to all of the beta testers for their bug reports and suggestions! The game wouldn't be what it is without it!

I made an official discord server for the game, if you feel interested. It will also be the place to post any bugs or suggestions you find!

A special role will be given to those whose PBs are higher than mine. It doesn't particularly do anything, but it's something to commemorate your hard work.

In the future, look forward to achievements being added. Some will be the expected 'beat the game' type stuff, others will be more niche, like killing a boss with a certain type of tower, or having a certain amount of money left over at the end.


Again, thank you to everyone who helped out, you all are awesome.

After lots of ups and downs, the game has been officially canceled, after 4 years since it started development. Soon, it won't be available on Steam.

What's next?

We've been working on something that's really good, and this time we're working on it full time, with a very consolidated team. Lots of improvements at Startreming Games over the last couple of years are making this possible. Take a look!
