How to Play Neon Tower Rush - Step by Step
The Neon Tower Rush page loads a ~1.2 MB vanilla Canvas TD in an iframe. Draft up to seven towers, defend one of six maps across 30 waves, and chase a high score before the base leaks out.
Step 1 - launch and draft
Click Play on the game page. Inside the iframe, pick 1-7 towers from the pre-match pool, then press Select Map. The UI is Chinese but icons and tower art are self-explanatory; hover tower cards for stats.
Step 2 - map and first builds
Choose one of six maps (each changes enemy HP/speed). Spend starting gold by clicking grass tiles to place drafted towers. Open a placed tower to upgrade along its 4-9 level track toward an EX form with a signature skill.
Step 3 - waves and economy
Press Start Next Wave when ready; starting early adds speed score. Kills grant gold for more towers and upgrades. Summoners appear on waves 10/15/20/25; the wave-30 boss ends the run if defeated before your base health reaches zero.
Step 4 - HUD controls
Pause and quick-restart sit in the settings dock. Abandon ends the current run. Open the in-game Wiki button for tower/enemy reference. Mute and volume sliders persist via ftol:neontowerrush:audio-settings. No online leaderboard on this host.
