REARGUARD
You are the rearguard of a doomed retreat. Every few seconds you automatically plant a sentry turret where you stand — so everywhere you’ve walked keeps fighting. Kiting stops being just survival and becomes base-building: loop back through your own gauntlet and herd the horde down the corridor you built.
Your path is your fortress.
Features
- Auto-deploying turrets — your whole trail becomes a living defense network.
- Build the gauntlet — funnel the swarm into kill-zones of your own making.
- 13 in-run upgrades — multishot, piercing rounds, Dead Man’s Switch and more.
- Permanent progression — salvage scrap each run and spend it in the Armory on 8 lasting upgrades.
- Four enemy types + elites — chasers, fast sprinters, ranged spitters, and hulking brutes.
- Endless escalation — how long can your fortress hold?
Controls
WASD or arrow keys to move — everything else is automatic. 1–3 pick upgrades · P pause · M mute. Keyboard required; best played in fullscreen.
