Drone Defence: Tower Defense

Drone Defence is a deep tactical tower defense game where you command anti-air weapons to intercept waves of enemy drones. Place AA guns, SAM batteries, radars, helicopters, and interceptor jets on an expanding battlefield grid — then watch the skies burn.

No timers. No energy gates. Just pure strategy.

▸ DEPLOY & DEFEND
Position 7 unique weapon types across a dynamic grid that expands as you survive. Each weapon has distinct range, accuracy, fire rate, damage, and ammo — and critically, different effectiveness against drones at LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH altitudes. Your AA gun shreds low-flying scouts but struggles against high-altitude heavy bombers. Your SAM battery is the only all-altitude solution.

▸ KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Face 5 drone types with unique behavior:
• SCOUT — Fast, fragile reconnaissance
• CARGO — Slow-moving tanks that absorb fire
• KAMIKAZE — High-speed suicide units, massive city damage
• STEALTH — Invisible without radar detection
• HEAVY — Armoured high-altitude bombers

Every 10 rounds a special EVENT triggers — SWARM PROTOCOL (double scouts), KAMIKAZE BLITZ (all kamikaze), ELITE FORMATION (hardened elite variants with 2x HP), NIGHT OPS (stealth-heavy incursion), or HEAVY SIEGE (armoured heavy waves). Each event changes the tactical puzzle completely. After round 15, elite drone variants appear in normal waves — 2x HP, 2x rewards, gold-bordered threats.

▸ BUILD YOUR ARSENAL
Earn XP and credits with every intercepted drone. Spend skill points across 4 tech tree branches:
• DETECTION — Extend radar range and tracking capacity
• FIREPOWER — Boost accuracy, damage, fire rate, and range
• ECONOMY — Reduce placement costs, increase XP gains
• DEFENSE — Reinforce city armour, improve repairs, deploy emergency intercept nets

Max out any skill to unlock a powerful CAPSTONE PERK: critical hits, instant execute chance, dual radar tracking, emergency repairs, and more.

▸ WEAPON MODULE SYSTEM
Customize every weapon with 27 unique modules across 5 categories: Targeting, Projectile, Utility, Ammo, and Radar. Equip piercing rounds, incendiary payloads, EMP stuns, tracer pulses, or signature modules like the AA Gun's LAST STAND (40% damage boost in bottom rows). One module per category per weapon — every loadout choice matters.

▸ COMBAT ENERGY
Build energy with every kill, then unleash active skills mid-wave:
• EMP BLAST (40 EP) — Stuns all drones for 3 seconds
• OVERDRIVE (60 EP) — Doubles weapon fire rate for 5 seconds

▸ RETRO CRT AESTHETIC
Amber-monitor display with scanlines, pixel fonts (PressStart2P, VT323), and three color themes. Smooth 60fps rendering via Skia canvas — hundreds of drones, projectiles, and explosions on screen without frame drops. Landscape-only, optimized for phones and tablets.
