Station Defense

How to play Station Defense

1. Tap or click a glowing pad to build a turret. Each costs ⚡ credits; every ship you destroy earns more. Missile Pods open at level 3, Cryo Beams at 6, Tesla Coils at 8.
2. Tap a turret to upgrade it (two upgrades each) or sell it back.
3. Tap anywhere else to fire the station cannon. It hits everything in a small blast and reloads in under a second.
4. Ships that reach the station knock out its shields. Lose all ten and you lose a life. Press NEXT (or Space) to call a wave early for bonus points and credits.

Controls: Tap or click a pad to build, a turret to upgrade or sell · tap anywhere else to fire · Space: next wave · keys: hover a pad, 1–4 build, U upgrade, X sell.

💡 Pads between two stretches of the lane cover both, so build there first. Tanks shrug off lasers; lightning and missiles go straight through their armour.

Press P to pause and M to mute. Works on desktop, tablet and phone.
