HOLD THE LINE.
TUNED BY EAR.
The waves never stop — they sharpen. Classic arcade defense rebuilt on modern systems: readable patterns, honest hitboxes, and difficulty that comes from the design, not the frame rate.
Under the hood sits a synth SFX engine tuned by ear — every hit, drop, and wave-clear voiced like an instrument, not a sample pack.
HOW IT PLAYS
Read the wave
Patterns sharpen, not just speed up. The difficulty comes from design, not a cranked frame rate.
Honest hitboxes
What you see is what hits. No cheap deaths — every loss is one you can learn from.
Voiced by ear
A synth SFX engine tuned by hand: every hit, drop, and wave-clear sounds like an instrument.
