About this game
Dial-Tone Defenders is a cheerful tower defense games entry where you defend a vintage switchboard exchange from waves of signal gremlins. Place rotary dialers, switchboard plugs, vacuum tubes and antennas on glowing pads, upgrade them between waves, and hold the line through 10 Free Run waves or the 5-wave seeded Daily challenge. Relaxed mode lets you build with no lines ever at stake.
How to play
- Tap a tower card, then tap a glowing pad to place it. Towers cost Volts; a free Rotary Dialer is placed for you at the start of every run.
- Tap Start Wave. Towers fire on their own at gremlins marching down the fixed path to the Exchange.
- Tap one of your towers to upgrade it (more damage, more range) or sell it back for 70% of what you invested.
- Gremlins that reach the Exchange cost Lines. Lose all 15 Lines and the Exchange is jammed.
- Clear all 10 Free Run waves to win, or clear the 5-wave Daily challenge — the same seeded challenge for everyone each day.
Tips
- Cover two path stretches with one tower: pads between parallel path runs hit gremlins twice per pass.
- Pair a Vacuum Tube's slow with a Switchboard Plug's splash where the path bends — slowed packs take full splash damage.
- Save Volts for the wave 5 and wave 10 Bosses: one upgraded Antenna out-damages two fresh cheap towers.
