The Wackytown Game

The Wackytown Game is a wave-defense game in which you fight through 14 escalating waves of enemies, ending with a final wave. Runs take about 10–25 minutes, and the game has a set ending rather than infinite survival. You can play alone or in online co-op for two players.

Face the waves

The waves begin with basic enemies that walk in a line and die when shot, then introduce more difficult threats. By wave 7, you may be freezing teleporting jesters as they spawn while a phase boss attacks your base elsewhere on the screen. There are 25+ enemy types, including speedsters, tanks, jesters, vampires, freezers, splitters and ghosts, as well as four named bosses.

You can choose from four difficulties: Easy, Normal, Hard and Impossible. Impossible gives enemies a 3x HP multiplier and has an achievement titled “Walked Through Hell.”

Upgrade your build

You can buy from more than 20 upgrades. Lifesteal and thorns can form a build, as can critical chance and knockback.

Play together

Online co-op supports two players through Steam friends. One player hosts a room and invites a friend through the Steam overlay. In the “Play as Enemies” multiplayer mode, one player takes the role of the wave manager, buys enemies with coins and spawns them at chosen moments to try to kill the other player.

Progress and compete

Runs earn Wacky Coins and Account XP. You can unlock cosmetics from a 22-item shop, including skins, bullet trails, kill effects and victory dances, and explore a 25-entry lore codex. The game also has a 50-tier seasonal Battle Pass with a free track and a premium track; seasons change every 90 days.

Leaderboards track the highest wave, the fastest wave-14 clear and the daily run, which uses the same seed for everyone on a given day. There are 56 regular achievements and five fake ones.
