孢子风暴：荒星防线

Crash-landed on a dying alien world. The planet itself wants you gone.
You are Mulan, a ship engineer. The crash scattered your crew, and all that is left beside you is one running Purification Core. As long as it glows, the corruption stays out — and you stay sane. The swarm has already followed the ore veins into the mines.
An open battlefield with no fixed lanes
This is not memorize-the-track tower defense. Enemies path dynamically through pits and open terrain: every turret and every ice wall you place rewrites their route to you. Shape the battlefield like an RTS — funnel, split, corner, then focus fire.
An ecosystem that chain-reacts
Alien creatures are not stat sticks — they react to each other:
Sproutlings burst into spore clouds when hit and leave corrosive remains when they die;

Zerglings that charge into a spore cloud go into allergic frenzy — faster attacks, paper-thin defense;

Emberlings throw embers to ignite spore clouds, air-dropping the swarm into your line;

Control kill order, positioning, and ignition timing — let the swarm blow itself up.
This is only the beginning — the full game will add more enemies and deeper ecological rules.
A hero who fights on the front line
Mulan is no spectator behind the walls:
Weakpoint Scan — mark enemies for your whole defense to focus down;

Knockback — blast backline threats away from your towers (the recoil sends her flying too);

Requiem Echo — a forbidden technique reverse-engineered from the enemy. High risk, last-resort insurance.
She also critiques ballistic deviation and calls out bad build decisions with cold precision.
The full game expands the roster: different heroes mean completely different defensive rhythms.
Two tower types, one defense
Gale Turret: rapid-fire physical damage; upgrade armor or barrels; overload for burst fire, then overheat;

Frost Tower: freeze control, ice walls to reshape lanes, and cooling for overheated turrets;

Ore is scarce. Where you build, and what you build first, is always a trade-off.
Protect the Purification Core
The Core is your lifeline: repair it first, then defend; upgrade it to expand the purified zone; lose it and it is over. Each wave hits harder, and every gap in your line will be punished.
More than one battlefield
The dying world will not give you a single foothold. The full game expands across mines, wastelands, and later chapters — terrain, swarm routes, and ecological pressure all shift, forcing you to rebuild your defense logic.
A fully hand-drawn dying world
Ink lines and watercolor textures: wastelands, glowing fissures, colossal skeletons and your wrecked ship. Cute art, cruel situation. The furious watercolor zergling on the store icon? That is just Tuesday on this planet.
About this demo (Next Fest build)
A playable mine-pit mission (about 8–15 minutes on a first run, including the crash intro and tutorials): command Mulan, 2 tower types, 3 enemy species (Zerglings / Sproutlings / Emberlings), and the spore chain — no fixed lanes, reshape the swarm with turrets and ice walls.
In development for the full game: more playable heroes, more maps and enemy ecosystems, deck-building cards, the three-essence economy, elites & bosses, more chapters. Wishlist to watch it grow.
