How to play Path Defense
Path Defense is a cartoon tower defense game. Creeps march along a winding dirt path toward your gate, and you build towers on the free grass beside it. Pebble Throwers shoot fast at ground and air, Boulder Lobbers blast groups on the ground, and Frost Fountains slow everything nearby.
Every tower can be upgraded twice, or sold for most of its price. Waves bring fast runners, armoured brutes, flyers that ignore the path and a big boss every ten waves. You earn gold for every creep stopped and a bonus for calling the next wave early. Three maps, speed x1 to x3 and endless waves after wave 30. Your best wave on each map is saved.
Progress, best scores and settings are saved on your device, so you can close the tab and come back later. The game runs in the browser with no download and no account.

FAQ
How do I build a tower?
Click or tap a free green tile, then choose a tower card. On a computer you can also press 1, 2 or 3 and click tiles one after another.
Why can't my Boulder Lobber hit the birds?
Flyers ignore the path and the Boulder Lobber only hits the ground. Use Pebble Throwers or Frost Fountains against them.
What does calling a wave early do?
It starts the next wave at once and pays 1.5 gold for every second of countdown you skipped.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. Your best wave on each map and your sound settings are saved on your device.
Is Path Defense free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Tap a grass tile, then a tower card. Tap a tower to upgrade or sell it. Use the buttons for the next wave and speed.
