About game

Defend your desktop in this idle auto-battler that sits quietly in the corner of your screen.

Fend off endless waves of enemies, upgrade your lone tower, and grow stronger across ascensions while you go about your day.

Level up and unlock

Gain XP, level up, and earn rewards such as permanent upgrades, powerful loot, or new weapons.

Hunt for loot

Enemies drop rare gear with huge bonuses. Equip the best and create broken builds.

Ascend and grow stronger

Reset your run to earn Ascendium, unlocking cross-ascension upgrades that boost your progress.

Always on, never in the way

Runs in a small corner of your screen so you can work, browse, or game while defending.

Customize your play

Adjust size and position to fit your setup. Stay passive or play actively. It's up to you!
