About this game

The Shifting Stacks is a grid-based tower defense game where you guard an ancient library core from waves of ink blots, book golems, and color-shifting chameleon enemies. Spend knowledge to build and upgrade mantis sentinels, income-generating archivists, and other towers along a fixed path, then branch each one toward damage or support roles. Manage your economy between waves and adapt your layout as enemies grow tougher and start resisting your defenses.
