ASCII Towers

Tower defense without a mouse. Creeps stream along a fixed path toward your base; you get a build phase between waves to place and upgrade towers, and then you find out whether you spent your money well.

Everything is rendered in text and driven from the keyboard — placement, upgrades, and starting the next wave are all key presses, which makes it far faster to play than a comparable click-and-drag game.

What's in it

• A build phase between waves, then a wave you can't take back.
• Towers with damage, range, and slow effects, upgradeable through levels.
• Creeps that fight back — towers can be destroyed, not just leaked past.
• Wave-clear bonuses, so clearing cleanly compounds into a better next round.
• The same presentation toolkit as the other ASCII games: theme cycling, CRT glow and scanlines, and a WebAudio synth.

One HTML file, no build step, no dependencies, no assets. This one hasn't been pushed to its own repo yet — it lives here.
