Sand Castle
Sand Castle is a shore-defence game: waves come in, and your castle is what stands behind you. Enemies arrive in numbered waves and the castle itself is the thing being damaged, so a run is a slow accumulation of consequences rather than a set of separate fights — what you let through in wave two is still costing you in wave six. The tiers are named for the sea they send: Gentle, Beach and Storm. Move with the arrow keys or touch, and pause with P. Free in the browser, no download, no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arrow keys or touch. Press P to pause.
What do the difficulty tiers change?▾
How heavy the assault is — Gentle, Beach, and Storm, in rising order of pressure.
How does the wave system work?▾
Enemies arrive in numbered waves and the counter climbs as you hold them off.
Can I repair the castle?▾
The castle is the resource you are protecting, so the surest way to keep it standing is not letting attackers reach it in the first place.
