Desktop Tower Survivor

Desktop Tower Survivor is an incremental idle game that runs borderless on your desktop, always on top. You can drag and resize its panels, and transparent gaps let you click through to whatever is behind them. Your tower automatically aims and fires at endless waves while you upgrade it and choose which enemies to target first.

Upgrades and research

The laboratory researches in real time, even while the game is closed. When you return, it catches up on each level that finished in your absence. You collect and combine upgrades, modules, artifacts and emblems:

• Upgrades: costs grow from a handful of coins to very large numbers.
• Modules: come in different rarities, including risk-and-reward legendaries that increase loot while bringing more enemies.
• Artifacts: grant automatic abilities such as shockwaves, missile salvos, singularities and frost auras.
• Emblems: provide permanent stacking bonuses.

Difficulty tiers

Each difficulty tier adds a new condition, such as faster, armored, shielded or self-healing enemies, or enemies that shrug off knockback. You can climb the tiers and see how far your build goes as the game continues to scale.

Tournaments and guilds

League tournaments use promotion and relegation. You can compare your progress on global and friends leaderboards, and join guilds with weekly missions, shared research and chat.

Customise your desktop

The game includes dozens of animated backgrounds, tower skins with their own effects, colour palettes and music. Your progress travels with you, so you can continue from where you left off on another PC.
