Protect Polis Station Allied Stats

"Protect Polis Station" is a singleplayer tower defense game I developed during the summer of 2024. The Kerkuvath Empire has declared war on the Galactic Peace Organization (GPO), and as Head of Defense for Polis, a space station right on the border between the empire and GPO, you have suddenly found yourself with the hardest job in the galaxy: defending the space station for as long as possible before help arrives.

Below are statistics for all the defenses you can buy. You gain money passively, but also from research stations and destroying enemy ships. The game ends once Polis Station is destroyed.

Note how the Explosives Launcher and Bomber both deal splash damage. Splash damage is extremely powerful in the end game, as there are way more ships clumped together.

Furthermore, the Relay Station can be super powerful when placed next to lots of defensive towers and stations. All defenses within 0.5 AU get a 25% efficiency boost, meaning Missile Launchers, for example, shoot 1.25 shots per second instead of 1.
