❤ Unique Fluid Simulation Mechanics

The game features a unique and innovative fluid simulation mechanic, where the enemy "Creeper" behaves as a realistic, dynamic fluid. Players must strategically manipulate the Creeper's flow across the 3D terrain, using elevation and obstacles to control its spread. Watching the Creeper pool in low areas, flow around obstacles, and climb up hills is a captivating and core part of the gameplay experience.

❤ Multifaceted Resource Management

In addition to the fluid simulation, the game implements a complex resource management system. Players must carefully collect and balance multiple resource types - energy, materials, and the special "Liftic" resource - to power their defensive structures, research upgrades, and launch offensive capabilities. This strategic resource management adds depth, as players must find the optimal balance to shore up their defenses against the encroaching Creeper.

❤ Diverse Defensive Arsenal

To combat the Creeper, players have access to a diverse arsenal of defensive structures and units. This includes classic tower defense elements like cannons, mortars, and anti-air missiles, as well as specialized units like engineering "Terp" bots that can terraform the terrain. The wide variety of options allows players to experiment with different strategies and create intricate, multi-layered defenses tailored to each map.

❤ Emphasis on Verticality and Terrain Control

The shift to a 3D environment introduces new strategic considerations around vertical positioning and terrain control. Players must carefully construct their defenses on different elevation levels to maximize range and line of sight, while also using the terrain to channel the Creeper's flow. This emphasis on spatial awareness and terrain manipulation adds an extra layer of depth to the tower defense gameplay.

❤ Flexible and Open-Ended Approach

The game features a flexible, open-ended approach, with story-driven campaign missions alongside a robust sandbox mode. This sandbox includes community-created maps, a random map generator, and a powerful level editor, allowing players to experiment with their own strategies and play styles. The game's save system and relaxed pacing, which enables pausing and issuing orders at the player's own tempo, further encourage a contemplative, strategic experience.
