"Pixel Defense" is a thrilling co-op tower defense game where two players join forces to protect their base from waves of quirky, pixel-art enemies. Craft a custom path for foes to follow, strategically place an arsenal of unique towers, and upgrade your defenses to survive increasingly challenging invasions. From standard turrets to exotic weapons like Meteor Strikes and Gravity Wells, every tower brings its own flair to the battlefield. With intuitive controls, dynamic gameplay, and a retro aesthetic, "Pixel Defense" offers endless fun for duo defenders. Can you and your partner hold the line?

How to Play:

1. Start the Game: Click "Start Co-op Game" from the main menu to dive in.
2. Set the Path: Player 1 uses WASD and left-click to draw a path from the center spawn point. Press Enter to confirm when ready.
3. Build Towers: Both players move their cursors (green for Player 1, orange for Player 2) to place towers. Earn money by defeating enemies to afford more towers and upgrades.
4. Defend Against Waves: Start waves manually with the "Start Wave" button or enable Auto-Start. Survive by keeping enemies from reaching the path’s end—each breach costs 10 health per player!
5. Upgrade and Adapt: Upgrade towers for better fire rate, damage, or range, and move them as needed to optimize your defense.
6. Teamwork Wins: Coordinate with your partner to cover all angles and outlast the enemy onslaught.
