Our take on Bean Beasts
Rather than keeping enemy movement confined to preset lanes, the game lets players alter routes with walls and push opponents through physics and gravity. It also places evolving companions and branching trap improvements inside a tower defense structure.
What is Bean Beasts?
Bean Beasts is a tower defense game about defending against monster hordes with evolving companions, traps, walls, and player-triggered abilities.
Ten Bean Beasts each have three evolution stages, a special ability, and a secondary attack. Twelve traps offer two upgrade paths each, while walls can redirect enemy movement. The game includes 40 handcrafted levels across five biomes, eight boss encounters, and eight maps for endless mode. Players unlock a Beast, Trap, or Upgrade after every level and can select from four difficulty options. Combat features more than 50 enemy types, two damage types, five damage elements, seven status effects, and physics-based interactions using gravity to push enemies.
