About Tesla Defense
Tesla Defense is a arcade game on Playket: hold the road against endless Soviet waves with pillboxes, cannons, AA guns and crackling Tesla coils. It is free to play instantly in your browser — no download and no sign-up — on phone, tablet and desktop.
How to play
Soviet units drive down the road toward your base. Tap the grass to build a tower: Pillbox (infantry), Turret (tanks), AA Gun (helicopters only) or Tesla Coil (lightning that jumps between targets). Tap a tower to upgrade it once or sell it. Press SEND to call the next wave; calling it early pays a bonus. Kills, cleared waves and the ore refinery earn credits. Every unit that reaches the base costs lives, and at zero the base is lost. V2 launchers fire rockets that jam a tower for a few seconds. Keyboard: arrows move the cursor, 1–4 build, Space opens the menu, U upgrades, X sells, Enter sends the wave.
Tips
- Helicopters fly straight at your base and ignore the road, so get an AA Gun up before wave 4.
- Pillboxes shred infantry but barely scratch tanks; Turrets are the other way round.
- Send the next wave while enemies are still on the road for bonus credits, if your defences can take it.
