Our take on Anx Defense
Rather than centering tower defense on defensive placement and enemy waves, the game makes projectile routing the main puzzle. Mirrors, path coverage, timing, building limits, and changing Mana conditions turn each map into a constrained logic problem.
What is Anx Defense?
Anx Defense combines tower defense with projectile-routing puzzles.
Buildings placed along projectile paths can turn shots, alter their damage or speed, add piercing, or infuse them with Mana. Mirrors redirect projectiles by 90 degrees and can be struck from either side. Each campaign level has a map, building restrictions, and Mana Conditions that determine which gates can activate. Blue and Yellow Mana must be managed through infusers, while farms support the available gold economy. Maps require coverage of monster routes, obstacle avoidance, timed path access, and sufficient projectile strength. The campaign includes levels with up to three High Score goals each, and the Mana requirements change between levels.
