Jarred Defense

A cat is stuck in a jar. It's your problem now.

Jarred Defense is a maze-building tower defense for people who miss the strategic depth of old-school TDs. Place a tower in the right spot to force enemies the long way around, make them walk over level hazards and create choke points for your splash zone. No spells, no first-person shooting, no random card modifiers. Just planning, placement, and upgrades.

COUNTLESS WAYS TO SOLVE EACH MAP

Build towers. Force enemies through lava. Adapt to melting ice blocks as heat sources reshape the level around you. Send the next wave early and pocket the bonus.

The cat trapped in the jar has opinions about all of this. They are not helpful.

UNCOVER YUKI'S STORY

Progress through the campaign to unlock cutscenes and find out why Yuki keeps appearing in jars, what happened to the robots, and whether any of this might possibly be her fault. Yuki will provide constant tactical support.

A FULL CAMPAIGN + COMMUNITY MAPS AND LEVEL EDITOR

The campaign takes roughly 4-6 hours to complete. Beyond the story, take on optional challenges and Endless Mode with leaderboards. Jarred Defense also includes a full level editor. Create your own maps, publish them to Community Maps, and play and rate levels made by other players.

THIS GAME IS KIND OF HARD

I built it because I missed the old-school flash tower defense games that didn't hold your hand. As a result, you’ll probably watch your defenses fall apart more than once. I consider that part of the fun.

Made by one person who just wanted to play a game like this and couldn't find one.
