Tiny TD: a roguelite tower defense I made alone in Rust

Roguelite tower defense is a kind of strategy game I’m interested in, so I made a pixel-art one in Rust with Bevy, handling gameplay, art and balancing myself.

Why I made it

Strategy games that mix roguelites with tower defense have long been something I’m interested in, so I decided to make one myself.

How it plays

Tiny TD is a pixel-art roguelite tower defense. In a run you build and upgrade towers, pick one of three abilities each time, and group towers of the same school to trigger synergies, holding off swarms of monsters and bosses with their own rules until the last wave.

How it’s made

The whole game is written in Rust with Bevy, and the code, gameplay design, pixel art and balancing are all my own work.
