About this game

A tower defense game where you defend a volcanic caldera from waves of lava creatures by placing towers on territory you claim. Build Obsidian Spires, Magma Siphons that harvest obsidian from enemy kills, and Resonance Pillars that boost neighbors, then survive the eruption. The paradox: enemy power fuels your own defenses.
