About Protolife
Protolife is a tower-based RTS about defending a human colony on Gagarin-5 from a spreading corruption. After the corruption destroys mushroom farms and cities, a small opening offers the survivors a chance to fight back and clean the planet. The lifeform sleeps during the day and grows slowly at night, developing tumors, blights and rolling pink lights.
Build your defenses
You construct towers from patterns of simple blocks, placing them piece by piece to shape a defense grid. Upgrade and combine towers, optimize space and resources, and contain the enemy through its nightly onslaught before striking back. You can use a quick rush of low-tier towers or build well-defended artillery posts; you can also collect blocks and rebuild elsewhere, depending on the space and resources available.
Face the corruption
The enemy is a growing, living entity that exploits weaknesses in your defenses. As it takes more space, it becomes more powerful. You directly control the builder and can switch between several battlefronts.
Missions and tools
The game includes over 30 levels with varied gameplay and victory objectives, as well as a random mission generator with adjustable difficulty and special rewards. A custom tower editor lets you construct your own weapons.
