RIFTROOT Demo
Keep the Heart beating. The rifts are open.
A small pixel art incremental tower defense about a dead tree that refuses to die. The tide never stops, and every 15 seconds a meaner wave lands on top of it. Build, upgrade, call the next wave early when you feel greedy, and burn a hole through the horde yourself when the line breaks.
Demo · 8 levels + Endless Tide
