Maze TD

A classic mazing tower defense in the WC3 Gem TD lineage.

• Each round, place 5 stones by clicking empty cells. Each reveals a random gem.
• Misplaced? Click a fresh stone to pick it back up · the same gem returns to your hand, no reroll.
• Everything can move: during build, click a settled gem or rock to lift it, then click an empty cell to drop it (long-press on touch). Lifted pieces must be placed before the wave starts · the maze relocates, it never shrinks.
• Keep exactly one. The rest become rocks · they block the path. Rocks are your maze.
• Creeps walk IN → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → OUT. You can't fully block the route; you can only make it long and lethal.
• Combine 2 identical gems → next quality. Combine 4 → jumps two. Two Perfects combine into a Great gem · the true endgame. Consumed gems leave empty ground.
• Special recipes fuse specific gems into unique towers (see Recipes).
• Damage barely grows per tier · abilities do: poison DPS doubles, slows deepen, cleave widens, armor shred stacks.
• From wave 11 creeps have armor (flat damage reduction) · Amethyst shreds it.
• Flying waves ignore your maze (dashed route). Bosses leak 5 lives. Check "Next waves" for what's coming.
• Slates turn junk rolls into endgame power: forge one Normal gem (anchor type) + two Flawed gems into a slate and socket it into a rock · it radiates a passive aura. Two matching slates combine into a greater slate.
• Survive wave 50 to win — lives are restored and the endless waves begin: every wave grows 5% stronger, a mega boss looms every 50th wave (leaks 10 lives). Fall or retire to seal your record; the leaderboard counts endless waves.
• Keys: 1–5 keep that gem · Q/W/E/R/T speed x1/x2/x3/x5/x10.

🏆 Victory!
