Motherboard Under Attack
Motherboard Under Attack is a Tower Defense where you need to save circuit boards from evil viruses! For this you will need to get tin (in-game currency) to solder the components in strategic places, protecting your processor!
With each wave, viruses will get stronger and you will need to think fast to not allow the worst to happen to your motherboard!
Component Towers
Each component has different characteristics and you will need to know them to progress more easily in the game. At the beginning you will be able to do 3 upgrades for each component if you have the tin for that.
Diode: Single shot, attacks terrestrial viruses.
Capacitor: Cannon, attacks terrestrial viruses, but less frequently, but with greater damage power.
Inducer: Laser that continuously attacks the enemy, does little damage, attacks terrestrial viruses.
Transistor: Single Shot, attacks airborne viruses.
Resistor: Slows enemies, but loses durability whenever an enemy passes through it (stays inside the rail).
Fuse: Bomb, dealing a lot of damage to the enemy that passes through it (stays inside the rail).
Oscillator: Generates Tin (in-game currency).
Virus
Common Virus: Simple ground enemy. Its evolution attacks component turrets.
Spyware: Simple flying virus.
Adware: Flying virus that attacks component turrets.
Worm: Virus that infects component turrets for a specified number of turns according to their level.
Trojan: A terrestrial virus with high HP that releases 3 viruses when destroyed or releases a smaller trojan according to its level.
Botnet: Ground Boss Virus with high HP that attacks component turrets.
Store
As you progress through the game, you will gain stacks that will allow you to upgrade components extra, in addition to the initial 3. In this case, it will be the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels for each component.
Phases
To open new phases you must reach goals in the previous phases, for example: to open phase 2, you must reach at least wave 10 of the first.
Note: The objectives are different for each phase.

It's a tower defense game, and if you've seen my feedback, I love myself a good TD game. Even though I received this game for free (I'm part of a game development page), it's an honest review.
I have to admit, I almost handed it in less than 30 mins in. The interface needs work. It's difficult to navigate, when you begin it's really tough to even figure out how to make your towers. The game has its faults (and I hope the developer will continue to work on the game), I did find the game fun and worth playing. It hooked me in, The first time I sat down to play the game, all of a sudden it was 4am... That says something.
There's really only 4 towers (and 2 other things that I don't know what to call).
There's only really 6 enemy types.
There's only 9 maps and the last one, you can't play until you've got to level 60 on all the other maps.
One thing that I personally really hate about the game, there are enemies that damage and then destroy your towers. I just don't like games that do that. It's even worse, repairing your towers costs nearly the same price as the towers themselves.
Some things I never figured out. What's the difference between Terrestrial and ground?
That all being said, it's a challenge. It isn't an easy game.
It's different to everything else I've seen.
There are no micro-transactions.
Some improvements I hope the developer works on:
Upgrades are pretty much blind. You have to pick without knowing what they do.
Tooltips. The game needs better tooltips. What do upgrades do (in game and in the tech tree). What are the stats of the current tower etc.
If enemies take damage, how much life is left.
What life is my base at?
There are a few simple slack things. Like in the commands it says enter calls the next wave, when it's the space bar that does it.
Some of the tooltips have words in a foreign language.
I think the achievements are in a foreign language.
Even with the downsides, it still beats a wide range of TD games out there. Don't expect a tier 1 game but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty fun to play.

The characters with big eyes and animation inspired by banjo kazooie really grabbed my attention, and there's a very solid tower defense with cool aesthetic and gameplay here! You can upgrade every part you have and they change their appearance, it's so cool
