Outhold
While the web version above is perfectly playable on most systems, the windows and macOS downloads offer better performance and graphics.
Outhold
Outhold is a short, minimalistic incremental game that blends tower defense strategy with a deep meta-progression. Carve your own way through the sprawling skill tree, unlock powerful upgrades, and defend your Holdout from relentless waves of enemies.
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.

this looks like something that goes for $0.99 on App Store, and has 8k 5 star reviews and 600k downloads
(in a good way)
(im trying to say it looks professional and good)
(goty material ToT
cool game
What does the Steam version get you that isn't in the demo? Is it just longer or more upgrades?
This is really nice, I love the minimalistic approach and the progression system feels really natural
100% in like an hour and a half, will be buying the full game on mobile soon
Jogo Maneiro ! Zerei a Demo e ainda gastei um tempo vendo umas builds.
Demo runs great on android should make a apk of the game so android users can buy it too.
Android and iOS versions of the game are coming out tomorrow actually!
Sweet I'll definitely be buying, not enough unique tower defense games on android most of them just feels like copy and paste of other games
Really nicely designed and refreshing after seeing a few too many incremental games that did not understand how to pace its incrementation
I'd love to buy this directly on itch instead of steam if that will be an option in the future :)
nice incremental ;)
Took me 2 hours to finish all challanges. Nice game!
how did you complete no towers. i even scraped the code and could not find any niche mechanics or upgrades that would allow me to kill ememies without towers
coin gun
can it please be added to android
Awesome animations!
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
