Welcome to my experimental take on the indie tower defense genre! In this endless idle challenge, survival isn’t just about strategy—it’s about the story. Every five waves, you unlock a new chapter from a small book I wrote, narrated through an AI companion while you battle against increasingly fierce enemies. With each wave, they get stronger, faster, and more relentless.

🛠 How to Play

  • Watch the chaos unfold as waves of enemies clash in intense, escalating battles.
  • After each wave, you’ll have the opportunity to select an upgrade at random, spending gold to enhance your abilities.
  • You can choose to save your gold for future upgrades instead of picking one immediately by selecting "Continue Without Upgrade."
  • Every five waves trigger a boss battle, revealing the next chapter in the unfolding story.
  • If you conquer the boss, you’ll earn five premium gems, which can be used to unlock unique skins for your player cube.

⚔️ Game Mechanics

  • Idle Survival: Progress through waves without direct unit control—your focus is on decision-making and upgrades.
  • Randomized Upgrades: Each upgrade choice is randomly selected from three options, pushing you to adapt your strategy dynamically.
  • Story Integration: Every five-wave interval delivers a piece of the narrative, deepening your immersion as you advance.
  • Cosmetic Rewards: Premium gems earned from boss fights unlock player cube skins, letting you personalize your experience.
  • Dedicated Japanese Level: The Bleeding Throne now has a fully separate Japanese version, featuring AI voice narration and localized text.
  • UI Overhaul: Everything has been rebuilt for clarity and accessibility, enhancing the player experience.
  • Future Updates: A book-style chapter unlock system is in development, allowing players to unlock pages as they survive. More immersive music tracks are also on the way.

Right now, this is an early concept testing a fresh perspective in game design, but if you enjoy it, I’ll expand on it—more levels, more books, and different variations of storytelling woven into your survival experience.

🚨 This update is currently exclusive to mobile! A Windows version update is in development.

Your feedback will shape the game’s future, so let me know what you think! An update is coming soon to add windowed mode, sound controls, and more customization to tailor the experience to your liking.

Good luck out there—and if you can crush my high scores, I salute you!
