Animal TD is a released tower defense by LayeeR1991. Eighteen handcrafted stages, several routes, five towers, four animal enemy classes, and a Star Talent Tree are the content the listing counts. It is free, single-player, and built for desktop browsers and phone touchscreens. AI assistance is disclosed for code, graphics, sounds, and text. Towers are Archer, Cannon, Frost, Flame, and Tesla, each with a stronger level-3 form. Selling a tower returns 70% of its cost. Calling a wave during the countdown pays +20 money. Stars from stages buy talents, and the tree can be reset for free.
How a session of Animal TD starts
Each round you are dealt tower cards. Place one of five types on open grass. Upgrade it or sell it. Entrance badges show where enemies will walk, including maps with more than one door. Speed toggles between 1x and 2x, and you can pause. Keyboard shortcuts named alongside touch and mouse include number keys, Space, F, S, M, and Esc. The listing does not spell out which letter does which job, so confirm them in the game before you bind muscle memory to this sentence.
What you actually decide
Which tower matches the animal that is actually on the path, and whether to sell a bad placement for most of the money back. Early-calling a wave is a money trade against prep time. Talents are the long decision: spend stars, then reset if the tree was wrong. Level-3 evolutions are the short decision inside a stage.
Controls and the first screen
Place, upgrade, sell, call the wave, change speed, pause. Touch and mouse both work. The 70% refund and the +20 early-wave bonus are specific enough to plan around, and they come from the listing rather than from a test on this site.
What the listing does not promise
Eighteen stages is the released count we are willing to repeat. This page has not cleared them. Crowned bosses are mentioned in the status notes. Do not invent drop tables. The talent reset being free is the listing’s rule.
Where Animal TD runs
Animal TD is published by LayeeR1991 on itch.io. This directory does not host the build, does not re-upload it, and does not put the author’s files inside an iframe unless the author offers an allowlisted embed. Use the official link on this page. If a control, a price, or a version on itch.io disagrees with a sentence here, the author page wins. Play on LayeeR1991’s itch.io page.
A first sitting
On stage one, place two different towers and sell one so the refund is not a surprise. Call one wave early and see the +20. After the stage, put a single star into the talent tree and reset it once so you know the reset really costs nothing.
