Tide and Tower

Tide and Tower is a strategy game where the pressure literally rises. You build defenses along the shore while waves of enemies push in, and the water level itself becomes a threat you have to plan around. It's a neat twist on the usual tower defense formula.

Each level is a small puzzle. You get limited resources and have to decide where to invest — spread thin or stack one strong point. The difficulty ramps honestly, and losing usually taught me something instead of feeling cheap.

The touch controls are precise, which matters when you're placing units under time pressure. It runs smooth even when the screen fills up. A solid pick if you like planning more than reflexes.
