Solar Sentinel is an exciting tower defense game with an eco-friendly twist. You'll need to harvest the energy of the sun to power your turrets as you defend a beautiful forest from pollution caused by enemy trucks. Use your resources wisely and upgrade your defenses to successfully defend the forest!

How to Play

The game includes a tutorial level that explains the mechanics (buttons T1 and T2 on the level select menu), but if for whatever reason you need a quick rundown, here's the basic mechanics:

Solar panels

Solar panels are used to collect energy from the sun to power defenses. Be aware of clouds as they affect the amount of energy produced.

Laser

The laser is used to destroy enemy vehicles, but it needs energy to function. More energy produces more damage.

Relay

Relay is used to redirect power beams over longer and obscured paths.

Minimum Requirements

Anything with a dedicated GPU will probably run the game fine. If you have an integrated GPU, your mileage may vary, but we tested the game on an Intel UHD Graphics 630 and got roughly 5 FPS, so we'd recommend playing on a PC with a discrete GPU.
