Monster mash-up

Asplode! Random Defense is a fiendishly addictive take on tower defence games. The premise is simple. There’s a meandering path. Monsters show up at the beginning and follow the path to the exit, when they presumably go on to attack and destroy whatever it is you’re defending—and you lose a life. You build different kinds of artillery units to defend the path, which you pay for by asploding monsters that get faster, stronger and larger in numbers as you go up in levels. It’s kind of like SimCity meets Lemmings, but much more violent and blow-uppy. Be prepared to waste time egregiously at arcade.itch.com/games/random-defense/.
