Refund Me TD

Refund Me TD is a single-player, offline tower defence game. Players must clear fifty levels in one run within a total of two hours, counted only while the game is open. The clock pauses when the game is closed and is not reset by starting a new run. If all fifty levels are cleared in time, the game asks whether the player wants a refund.

There is no fixed path for enemies. Each level has a meadow, an entrance gate and an exit gate, and players place fences to lengthen the route between them. The game does not allow the route to be blocked completely. Eight towers are available: a beehive, a bread oven, a quench barrel that slows enemies, a watchtower that hits everything along a line, a fire lookout that delivers the single strongest hit, a fire pit, a windmill that improves neighbouring towers, and a market stall that generates money. Towers and upgrades are offered one card at a time, so no run includes everything and players choose between wide and deep approaches.

Enemies include rogues, knights, barbarians, skeleton minions and mages, and they arrive with varying health. Every eighth level brings sappers, which are tougher than other enemies and target towers. When a sapper reaches a cluster, that cluster is destroyed permanently, leaving a crater with no repair or refund. Twice per run, flocks of flyers cross the meadow in a straight line, ignoring fences, and only the Watchtower and Fire Lookout can attack them. Both events are announced a level ahead. The meadow also expands six times per run, in the order north, east, south, west, both ends, then all sides, and these are announced in advance and never coincide with sapper levels. One rare card expands all four sides at once. The game has no ads, purchases, currency or unlockables, and it runs in a window on low-spec hardware.
