Godot Tower Defense

A complete tower defense game for Godot 4.7, built so your AI agent can turn it into your game.

What's inside

• "Lantern Keep": paper-lantern towers guard a mountain shrine from creeping shadows, across 6 levels with stars.
• 4 towers, 3 levels each: quick arrows, a splash mortar, a frost lantern that slows, and a long sun ray that ignores armor. Upgrade, sell, and pick a target mode (first, last, strongest, closest).
• 7 enemies: grunts, fast runners, armored beetles, flyers that skip the path, splitters, and a boss.
• Waves: a countdown between waves, with bonus gold for calling the next one early.
• Feel: 1×/2×/3× speed, range rings, hit and splash effects, gold popups, shake on leaks.
• Controls: mouse, touch and keyboard shortcuts.
• Progress: saved stars, and each level unlocks the next.
• Content as data: maps are plain ASCII text; towers, enemies and waves are JSON. It's the easiest content for an agent to edit.
• Free to ship: original pixel art, sound effects and music.

For your agent

• AGENTS.md: the brief, with 11 step-by-step recipes and a full content reference.
• A deterministic battle core with no nodes, and headless checks for every rule.
• A balance bot. It plays every level, and the checks fail if a level can't be won with lives to spare, or can be won without building anything.
• Map validation that names the row and column of any mistake.
• A screenshot tool that fast-forwards into a battle, so the agent can see what it changed.
