Flux Tower Defense is OUT NOW

Flux Tower Defense is OUT NOW

After three years of solo development, Flux Tower Defense launches today on Steam. Grid-based TD with no fluff: place towers, block paths, watch enemies reroute, level up rolls that change how everything works.

What's in the box

• 20 towers, 8 traps — each rolls a random attribute at Lv 5 (LAVA burn, GLACIER freeze, ELECTRIC chain, STEEL crit). Same tower plays four ways.

• 30+ enemy species — Mole burrows past defenses, Splitter spawns on death, Priest heals, Phaser phases. Every species has a boss variant.

• Endless waves — boss-evolve roll climbs from 0.1% at wave 5 to 10% by wave 55. Late runs are a mini-boss parade.

• 10 elite modifiers — shield, regen, dodge, EMP-on-death, slow-immune. Recolor every wave.

• 20 achievements — 4 hidden. Steam Leaderboards. Steam Cloud sync.

• 15 languages — EN, KO, JA, 简中, 繁中, DE, ES, ES-LA, FR, HU, NL, PT, PT-BR, RU, VI. Full UI + achievements + Rich Presence translated.

• In-game Bestiary — codex unlocks as you encounter enemies. Effect chips, keyword highlighting.

• Damage meter — see which tower is actually carrying. Sell the dead weight.

Design philosophy

No image assets. Every entity is rendered with Canvas 2D — sharp, fast, scales clean. Dark slate background, neon accents, readable at a glance. Designed to look at home next to Into The Breach and Mindustry, not your phone's free TD. Walls auto-tile into fortifications. Portal pulses with rotating triangles when a wave starts. Fortress visibly degrades — shields strip, color shifts teal → yellow → red — as life drops.

Roadmap

• Workshop support for custom waves (prototyping now)

• Daily challenge seeds with shared leaderboards

• One more tower archetype + 6 enemy species in the first post-launch patch

Thanks

To the 200+ playtesters who broke the build over and over. To everyone who wishlisted. To the localizers who took my janky English keys and made them sound native in 14 other languages.

See you on the leaderboards.
