About
Tangy TD is an innovative strategic tower defense game that blends roguelite survival with the deep customization of an ARPG. Control the witch Tangy in real-time, placing class-based towers and equipping them with synergistic loot to fend off relentless hordes of enemies. With a colossal skill tree and items that drastically alter gameplay, you can create absurd, screen-clearing builds that deal ridiculous amounts of damage.
Story
Set in the vibrant yet dangerous world of Tangeria, the land is plagued by bush monsters, fast rats, and powerful bosses. As the witch-like heroine Tangy, you must embark on a high-stakes journey through deep forests to protect the vital orange trees from total destruction.
Gameplay
Experience hybrid action-strategy by freely moving Tangy to attack while dynamically repositioning up to three class-based towers (Defender, Archer, Healer). Equip your towers with powerful randomized loot across four slots to trigger crazy cross-class synergies, and level up mid-run to select roguelite upgrades to survive escalating waves.
