Sphere Defense: A Minimalist Tower Defense Gem Launches on Mobile
Developer Tomoki Fukushima has just released Sphere Defense, a fresh take on the classic tower defense genre. The game tasks players with defending Earth from waves of enemies, but sets itself apart with its minimalist aesthetic and vibrant neon visuals.
Gameplay revolves around strategic unit placement, resource collection for upgrades, and navigating increasingly challenging levels. Successful defenses yield resources used to enhance your units, leading to victory. Perfect runs—those without taking damage—earn high scores and bragging rights.
Fukushima cites the ten-year-old tower defense game geoDefense by David Whatley as inspiration, highlighting its simplicity and engaging design.
