About Towers & Tentacles

Towers & Tentacles is an action tower defense game where you defend your crashed ship from increasingly chaotic enemy waves, collect scrap, and survive long enough to finish the repairs and escape before the crash site is overrun.

  • 3 Planets. Fight across distinct worlds with their own battlefields, enemies, and tactical challenges.
  • 3 Unlockable Weapons. Discover new ways for Orvello to fight alongside his defenses.
  • A wide range of Upgrades and Perks. Create different builds for Orvello, his weapons, and your towers.
  • Destroy invading robots and collect the Scrap they leave behind.
  • After each wave, review your Salvage Report. MONA uses the recovered Scrap to repair the ship before the next attack begins.
  • Complete each repair stage to bring the ship closer to liftoff.
  • Scrap gets you off the planet. Spare Parts make Orvello strong enough to survive it.
  • Spend Spare Parts on weapon upgrades.
  • Place multiple towers across the battlefield, but keep only one fully powered at a time.
  • Freeze the action with MONA’s Tactical Mode to assess immediate threats, activate the right tower, or deploy tactical consumables.
  • Counter enemy resistances with specialized towers and weapon attachments.
  • Study the next wave, adapt your loadout, and decide which tower to power.
