Outhold
While the web version above is perfectly playable on most systems, the windows and macOS downloads offer better performance and graphics.
Outhold

Addictive game loop
Start a run, see how far you get. Use your collected resources to buy upgrades and try again.
Become powerful enough to obliterate everything coming against you.

Deep upgrade tree
Create unique builds that fit your playstyle.
Experimentation is rewarded, and all upgrades can be refunded for free.

Strategize
Focus on upgrading just one specific tower, or find unique tower synergies.
There are many ways to progress through Outhold, the choice is up to you.

I’ll immediately buy on iOS. Would be great on the iPad
Fun demo. Thumbs up
nvm
cant start waves
This is so fun :p
Just beat the demo, super fun. Wish there were more levels!
Coin drop upgrade does nothing seemingly? maxed it to 50 percent but enemies still only drop 2 coins.
this is awesome I've completed the entire game along with all upgrades I can get and all quests
I absolutely ADORE THIS DEMO, cant wait for the full release on steam!!<33
For some reason when I pressed the End Run button it didn't reset fully, and I didn't lose (though also couldn't win) - going to the main menu and back fixed it, but just letting you know there's a bug here. I couldn't reproduce it, it only happened once. I might have lost at the same time I tried to end or something.
it was kind of ass the cupcake was the best part
It was a legendary pull because it was on a theorist channel
SO FUCKING GOOD OMG
very well put together, its polished, its simplistic art design looks good and tells you exactly what you need to know about the environment and its enemies. 10/10 i would buy if i had steam.
fantastic, very polished, extremely good use of simple visuals and animation. One of the best refreshing tower defenses I’ve played in a while, it doesn’t break a lot of new ground but it does it very thoughtfully and broke the hell out of old ground! Keep it up!
fire tower needs a buff
great game wish it kept going, 10/10 for inovation
damage link (pulse) is sooo op to deal with hordes of enemies super easily, i got the level 3 time goal in half the required time using it
Rip my savefiles :(
great game. addictive, fun, i am playing for 2 hours :)
how does the build challenge for level 2 even work?
coin cannon
few things i wanna point out
-i had performance issues with the custom cursor beeing laggy and turning on v sync making the game laggy
-the mark ability should have a cooldown or have limited usage per wave because now its about clicking in one spot continuesly
-beeing able to queue upgrades would be cool so you dont have to spam when you have enough money
there's an upgrade that automatically marks the first enemy, so you dont have to keep clicking
It would help to have a slightly more distinct difference between the colour of an upgrade you have maxed out and one you haven't.
I was starting to get really frustrated, thinking I was being forced to grind.... and then finally realised I could continue upgrading my health, damage, etc 🤦♂️
Most beautiful tower defense game I've ever played in my entire life
The next GemCraft!
Clean and pleasant art style, nice upgrade tree
My upgrade tree is moving xD
And it looks like this right now
Could you share how this happened exactly? 😅
Well, after first stage first run, I clicked Upgrade and it was like that when I got the upgrade menu xD Its hard to show in the picture, but its not static, it was moving in and out xD I stopped it by reloading the game by F5 xD
It's a shame it's so short but it's regrettably understandable
Seems a good update, played a while back
-Game threatened to crash for a long while the first time an explosion lit enemies on fire, it did not fake death any other time this happened
-Multihit is overpriced and underpowered, sadly
-Please increase (remove) green token cap. We are already limited to what we can do here, let people enjoy the segment of the game they can access here, just means people playing for longer and enjoying the combos
Wish you well with your game, lot more content for a couple quid would be good value
The game is amazing. The simple visual just fit it very well. The sounds effect are great. I was extremly bored, so I just sat down and pressed buttons. Fantastic. I wish you the best and hope for a Steam release! :)
That game was fire and addicting. I really hope you end up releasing the full version on Steam! And please don't cheap out and add barley more content than the demo. This is a game I can seriously just sit down and play to pass the time and keep coming back to, kind of like how I play Bloon TD6. This is one of those games. Or at the very least keep updating the game so you don't spend as much time initially in development hell, and so there's more and more for me to look forward to later on down the line.
Newest mac build doesnt open for me, says it's damaged
Hi, if you're getting this error you'll need to run a command on the executable. You can follow the instructions in the top answer here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/372084/macos-catalina-app-is-damaged-a...
We'll try to find a way to get a new build up that doesn't require this.
please increase the tokens cap. there are combinations that need just under 23,000 token to get everything
if you spend the yellow stars you get from beating the beating the level the first time on
explosive grunts
explosive burn
coin cannon
you still have upgrades that need 2,862 more tokens.
is only being able to get over kill to level 2/3 intentional?
no way to get 6 crowns
nicely done
Windows version just opens and then immediately closes
Sorry about that! Should be fixed now in the latest build.
Very nice
aaaaaa I was so into this and then it reminded me it was a demo. can't wait for the full version!
good good good!
It was a fun little game with lots of promise to be something special if expanded on
