2 sentence description
Artificial Defense is a one man made, real-time-strategy, orbital-shooter game in an artificial, virtual reality setting. You are the machine, a mighty computer-system, defending its servers against swarms of intruding creeps.
Short Action description
Fire off miniguns, launch hellfire missiles, drop incinerating hades-bombs and colossal asteroids, deploy mighty railgun and acid towers and spawn your own Intrusion Counter Measures (ICMs) to re-conquer corrupted databases and firewalls. Earn RAM and upgrade your arsenal and hardware-level. Start as an analog punch-tape machine and evolve to a quantum A.I. mainframe.

You can unlock and install new tower versions in the uplab.
3. Conquer
