- **Adaptive Enemy AI** — AI selects from 15 enemy strategies each wave, studying your defenses and exploiting your weaknesses. The more you rely on one tactic, the harder the AI punishes it.

- **6 Tower Types** — Arrow, Cannon, Ice, Sniper, Tesla, and Poison. Each with unique damage profiles, range, and special effects like splash damage, chain lightning, slowing, and damage-over-time.

- **8 Enemy Types** — Normal, Fast, Tank, Healer, Shielded, Splitter, Stealth, and Boss enemies. Healers mend allies, Shielded units regenerate energy barriers, Stealth enemies phase invisible, and Splitters divide on death.

- **3 Unique Maps** — The Winding Road, Crossroads, and Spiral — each with distinct path layouts that demand different defensive strategies.

- **Enemies With Personality** — The horde taunts you. Chat bubbles pop up with fourth-wall-breaking humor, pop-culture references, and reactive quips when they're frozen, poisoned, or closing in on your base.

- **Voice-Announced Gameplay** — A TTS announcer calls out wave starts, boss arrivals, low lives, leaks, and victories with multiple voice line variants.

- **Persistent Leaderboard** — Track your best runs across maps. Top 10 scores saved locally with wave, kill, and map data.

- **Economy & Scoring** — Earn gold from kills, spend it on towers. Score rewards smart play: wave completion bonuses, perfect wave bonuses for zero leaks, and penalties for every enemy that slips through.
