Key takeaways
Describe the towers, enemies, and path you want, and Makermint builds a playable 2D game.
Ask for a new tower or a tougher wave in plain language and play the next version quickly.
Makermint builds 2D tower defense games, not 3D ones, playable straight in the browser.
Tower defense games are strategy puzzles played in real time. Enemies march along a path toward your base, and your job is to place and upgrade towers along the route to stop them. Each tower type behaves differently, some fire fast, some hit an area, some slow enemies down, and the strategy comes from choosing the right combination and placement. Games like Bloons TD 6 and Kingdom Rush have kept players coming back to work out exactly that puzzle.
A Makermint version starts with your description of the setting and the towers you want. Tell it the theme, fantasy, sci-fi, or something else, and Makermint builds a playable 2D game with waves, towers, and a path, ready in your browser in a few minutes. From there you can ask for a new tower type or a tougher wave in plain language.
