Vertex Defense

Description

Vertex Defense is a free tower defense prototype developed in C++ using the raylib engine, created by Lexis as a learning project and portfolio piece. Available for Windows 10+ (64-bit), the game features 31 challenging waves of enemies, including Block, Dash, Brute, and Core units, each applying unique pressure on your defenses. Defend your base with 7 different turret types that can be placed, upgraded, or refunded strategically. Between waves, choose from powerful Artifacts—permanent upgrades that shape your strategy. The game includes original art by Lexis and AI-generated music via Suno AI, with the sleek Orbitron font enhancing its sci-fi aesthetic. While no future updates are planned, Vertex Defense offers a complete, self-contained experience built to showcase programming and design skills. Extract the files and run TD.exe from the TD folder to play—assets must remain in the same directory. Full credits are accessible in the in-game Options menu.
