Bestagon Defence
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
Bestagon Defence is a non-repetitive tower defence. Often tower defences are repetitive, you find a strategy, and it all becomes rather similar. So we've taken rogue-genre elements to spice it up, all upgrades can be applied to multiple turrets, and the shop is randomised every time you open it! Sounds fun? Why not give it a go!

Liking the newest update so far, though balancing is a bit off.
I'm definitely seeing improvements since before, keep going :)
Glad to hear it. I did test the new level a quite a bit more than I have for previous updates to get level balance correct, but I do rely a lot on player feedback for module/turret balance so more sure to share it on the Discord!
Haven't played this in a while, it's fun to pick up again.
Hexagons are the Bestagons
New update pog
nice game
So I got the game to work somehow and now I can give a review:
Things I liked:
Things that I didn't like:
Conclusion: The game is very simple and it's hard to do a tower defense wrong and this ones not that bad. Good luck with your development and I hope you can improve on your game in the future!
Thanks for the feedback!
We’re working on our controls, they were previously rewritten, so getting the right sensitivity is going to take a bit.
Sadly neither me nor BLOODWIING are sound designers, so we’d prefer to focus on the gameplay and art before spending time hunting for the right sounds.
If you’re referring to the shop, that was left over from internal testing (for example the shop button doesn’t look like a shop button) and will be changed.
It’s on our todo list!
The coins, health and other level UI elements move along with the level to avoid clogging up the screen (it’s built for mobile and desktop). But we’ll have to take another look to see if this is the best choice.
There currently isn’t a tutorial, but all turrets should be explained in that, or some sort of in-game wiki.
You could previously click anywhere to deselect but this caused many problems with selecting and has been disabled until it’s been fixed.
If you’ve got anything else you found issues with, don’t hesitate to let us know!
Of course, I'll be keeping an eye on updates and trying it out from time to time! Good luck
Actually clicking the same turret should deselect the turret, at least that works for me (Windows).
Game crashed after logging in and starting game. Unable to relaunch afterwards :(
windows btw
Was there a crash report? Windows should work (I’ve had players play on Windows today)
No crash report, it simply just closed after I "logged in" and wouldn't launch again
Could you join the Discord so that we could assist you more efficiently?
Someone in our Discord also recently had the game not open, they said that Win + Tab made it reappear. Can you try that?
Please inform us if that works, if it doesn't it would really be helpful that you joined the Discord, so we could figure out what is wrong... ^^'
