Maze Tower Defense is a native iOS tower defense game built around a single core idea: the maze you build is the strategy. Place buildings on an 11×18 grid to shape the path enemies take, then upgrade, repair, and reposition as the waves intensify across five biomes and 25 hand-authored campaign levels spanning three chapters.

Six buildings anchor the arsenal: three attack towers — Scout, Cannon, and Frost, each upgrading through six levels — plus the Gold Mine, Shield Tower, and Barracks support buildings. Castable spells (Fireball, Chain Lightning, Freeze All) and end-of-wave fortress upgrades across four trees deepen every run. Eight enemy types push back with distinct behaviors: Flyers ignore your maze, Splitters multiply on death, Healers regenerate the wave, Tanks reflect damage, Brutes hunt your towers, and Bosses deploy energy shields. Starting at wave 8, optional disasters — meteors, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, zombies, and alien UFOs — change the battlefield mid-run.

Every number above is documented in the Game Wiki — full stat tables for all six buildings and eight enemies, every wave in every mode, and a map, wave list and difficulty read for each of the 25 campaign levels.
