If you defeat it you score a point but if the enemy they have sent you reaches your base the chat scores a point! Who will win? Please note this mode is not competitive but more of a fun mode for streamers.Completely BalancedThe game has been in development for just short of 5 years with around 150 beta testers. We have spent years perfecting the balance how things scale over time and changing costs to ensure that there are no silly strategies such as only placing one tower or only buying one gun. You can only last so long with that arrow tower or rifle!
