Why Play Neon Defense Grid?

A tower defense game with waves, boss rewards, power-ups, permanent upgrades, and score chasing.

How to Play

Select towers, place them near the route, start waves, upgrade defenses, and keep corrupted drones away from the Neon Core.

Controls

  • Keys 1 to 4 select starter towers.
  • Click or tap the grid to place towers.
  • Space starts waves; U, S, and Q upgrade, sell, or undo.

Tips to Score Higher

  • Save repair and freeze powers for boss pressure.
  • Build near bends so towers fire longer.
