What is Defend Your Life: TD?
Defend Your Life: TD is a tower-defense game set inside the human body.
Players protect organs including the appendix, pancreas, heart, and brain from viruses, bacteria, and other threats. The campaign contains 17 battles, with enemies based on conditions such as flu, colds, kidney stones, and cancer. Three offensive tower types can be built and improved through a technology tree, while range, attack speed, and damage bonuses support their defenses. Players can also deploy platelet soldiers, specialists from the Hero Room, bombs, electric shocks, adrenaline injections, and a Golem. Two boss battles feature Stonekid and Cancer. Easy, medium, and hard modes are available, alongside an in-game encyclopedia covering enemies and buildings.
