Arcade Game
A defense without guns. Bend gravity. Let the sun do the rest.
Ward is a gravity-well tower defense roguelite where you never fire a shot. Enemies fall toward your core from every direction; you drag up to five gravity wells to bend each attacker's trajectory — slingshot it into the sun, spiral it into a crush radius, or whip it clean off the field. Live trajectory prediction shows where every enemy will end up, color-coded by outcome. Between waves you draft one of three perks and reposition before pressing BEGIN WAVE.
Free to start · $4.99 full unlock · Play Pass available
In DesignGameplay screenshots coming soon. Trajectory prediction, well placement, and perk drafts are being polished for launch.
How it plays
Clear rules, real identity, and a reason to improve.
No weapons, pure physics
Every kill is environmental: sunburn, well crush, or deflection. The entire skill ceiling is reading predicted paths and placing mass — you never fire a shot.
See the future, then bend it
Faint dotted paths show where each enemy will end up given your current wells, color-coded by outcome — red for the core, gold for the sun, violet for crush. Drag a well and everything re-predicts live.
Draft and reposition
Between waves, draft one of three perks — new wells, deeper gravity, drag fields, core plating, solar flares — then reposition everything before you commit to BEGIN WAVE.
Roguelite escalation
Enemy count, speed, and types scale — heavies from wave 3, mid-flight correctors from wave 6 — until the ward falls. Close the app mid-run and CONTINUE restores the exact state.
Why we built it
Ward exists to flip tower defense on its head: no turrets, no bullets, just gravity and prediction. The fantasy is being the board, not the gun.
Who it is for
Strategy and tower-defense players who want a fresh, physics-driven take with deep positioning skill and roguelite run variety.
How a run works
Read the predicted paths → place wells → bend attackers into the sun → draft a perk → reposition → survive the next wave.
Free to start. The full defense when you want it.
