- Start the next wave when your defenses are ready, and upgrade towers between waves.
- Use your special power when an attack gets out of hand.

Tips to Survive All 30 Waves
- Set up gold mines and wood cutting early. Every later upgrade depends on a steady income.
- Mix your defenses: walls slow attackers down while archers and cannons deal the damage.
- Do not start a new wave until you have spent or planned your resources.
- Upgrading a few well-placed towers is often better than spreading many weak ones thin.
About Defend the Castle
Defend the Castle is a compact tower defense game set around a single castle. Your job is to protect the King from wave after wave of attackers, using whatever you can build with the gold and wood you collect.
Walls hold the line, archers and cannons do the damage, and upgrades make each piece stronger. You decide when the next wave starts, which gives you time to plan between fights. Hold out through 30 waves and the enemy gives up the siege; let the castle's health drop to zero and the game is over.
It is played in portrait orientation and runs in the browser on desktop, phones and tablets. On Clackzo it is free, with no download and no sign-up.
