Vector Bastion

Hold the line on the grid.

Waves of glowing geometric invaders are closing in on your core. Build towers, upgrade your defenses, and decide when to call the next wave. On open-field maps, your towers become the maze.

Features

  • 15 hand-built sectors across Easy, Medium, and Hard tiers.
  • Two ways to defend: fixed paths with up to three entrances, and open fields where you shape the enemy’s route.
  • 5 tower types with 4 upgrade levels each:
    • Pulse Gun: rapid-fire bolts.
    • Frost Ring: slows nearby enemies.
    • Beam Lance: a continuous laser.
    • Arc Coil: chain lightning.
    • Shell Mortar: homing shells with splash damage.
  • 7 enemy types, including fast Darts, armored Brutes, Splitters that burst into shards, Warded shells that resist physical damage, and the Titan boss.
  • Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals. Can you clear every sector without losing a life?
  • Risk and reward: call waves early for bonus credits, or increase the speed up to 3× to keep the action moving.
  • Lightweight and playable offline.
  • Buy once and own it. No ads, microtransactions, or accounts.
