Transport Defender puts you in charge of defending a cargo ship through successive enemy waves by upgrading weapons, collecting resources, and automating defenses. The game supports idle play immediately without grinding gates, and lets you progress meaningfully whether you engage actively or check in occasionally. It's suited for players wanting a lightweight tower-defense loop with optional cosmetic spending and an active developer community.
About this game
Defend the transport ship from being captured by enemy waves on the way to the jump hole. Upgrade weapons, kill enemies, get cargo, transfer cargo, buy features, repeat.

Had this running for six months playing religously. Updates have been OK, until January 7 2018. New update destroyed all progress made. Even made a few small purchases because I was enjoying it. Totally regret supporting this developer now.
Fun game so far. Unlike a lot of idle games were you need to spend many hours before you can play it as an idle game this one is ready to go out of the box. The first play through is short, with out large walls and things put in just to make you spend money to get the first play through over.
Update: have now spent some time on the discord for this game and the developer is active and answers questions. This is very nice to see.
+ Very light-weight and you can even turn off the projectiles for fps boost when it gets chaotic. + Has depth offering you several ways to play the game. + Neat-looking (and funny) projectiles. + Helpful and active discord/community. + Playable without any micro-transaction. Even F2P gets the premium currency (Tokens). + Idle-friendly. The game offers auto-level, auto-reset, and auto-click when you progress further. + Slow, but rewarding progression. + Enormous contents (from weapons, features, and upgrades). + Updated on a regular basis by the developers.
= Huge numbers.
- Slightly steep learning curve and a bit confusing at start (might take some time due to how much the game can offer). - Offline is terrible and could use a buff. - Poorly explained tooltips and tutorial.
New system is added: Feature Prestige. Get 1 prestige point for every 1M cleared sectors. Prestige features (limited amount, mostly high level) to increase max level, price per level is increased too. P.S. I'm still alive but have some health issues lately (not serious). Working on new game, got a bit stuck and tired, so decided to add prestige system i was talking about some time ago to TD. For those who interested i'll definitely post in discord about test version for new game when it's ready, no ETA now :) Have fun!

Bonuses: WP delivery reward x4 MP regen rate +100% Ends: February, 1 Have fun! P.S. I know some of you are angry because of this drastical changes, especially owners of low lvl mythics or 300+ lvl items. When i added 50% break reward ot total item upgrade price it gone to hell (everything was balanced around WP delivery and item breaking as 3x delivery reward). Sorry for that :)
