Position your EvoDogs against the threats of a machine-dominated future and enjoy this TOWER DEFENSE game with ROGUE-LITE elements!
—
Mechanines Tower Defense is a strategy game that combines rogue-lite elements with the dynamic of tower defense, offering a unique experience with every match.
Unlike traditional titles, enemy paths are procedurally generated and infinite, ensuring no session is the same. In addition, EvoDog placement points are random, challenging players to adapt their strategies in real-time.

Developed as a two-person team, with myself handling all programming and my talented friend Camille creating the art, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together in just 7 months. Seeing our classroom project evolve into a finished product on Steam has been an immensely rewarding journey.
