About this game

Spinward: Mandala Defense puts a living, rotating mandala between you and endless enemy waves. The spinning blades are your only weapon. Sharpen them, specialize them, and keep the core alive.

This is rotation defense survival. Enemies charge your core from every direction. Your mandala blades auto-spin and cut them down — no steering, no aiming. Your job: pick upgrade cards wisely, trigger Overdrive at the right moment, and outlast the escalating assault.

— HOW TO SURVIVE —

Every run starts with a single-ring mandala spinning in place. Enemies rush from all sides.

• Mandala blades rotate automatically — defense never stops
• Enemies escalate wave by wave: rushers, weavers, shards, spiraling bombers, snipers, and brute enforcers
• Each level-up delivers three cards — choose one upgrade and evolve your mandala on the fly
• Hold your finger to charge Overdrive: a burst of rotating energy that shreds everything in range
• Core HP reaches zero? Run over. Average run: ~3.5 minutes of pure tension

— SPECIALIZE YOUR MANDALA —

No two mandalas are the same. Choose how each ring evolves:

• Ring pattern — wide knockback, hold enemy waves at bay before they reach the core
• Spiral pattern — high damage output, punishes anything that gets close
• Thorn pattern — pierces through grouped enemies, shreds swarms in a single sweep

Stack all rings with the same pattern for a focused build, or mix them for a hybrid mandala that covers every angle.

— OVERDRIVE —

Hold to charge. Release to detonate.

Overdrive floods the screen with a rotating burst of mandala energy — damage multiplied, knockback amplified, enemies scattered. Time it when the wave peaks and you can survive assaults that would otherwise end the run. The Overdrive meter charges from combat; the more enemies you face, the faster it fills.

— META PROGRESSION —

Shards earned each run carry over permanently. Spend them on 10 upgrades across four tracks:

• Attack — blade damage, attack speed, Overdrive power
• Defense — core HP, damage reduction, grace windows after taking a hit
• Economy — Shard drop rate, bonus on kills, double-fragment chances
• Utility — Overdrive charge speed, Shard magnet range, extra revival count

Build the meta that matches your survival style. Each track branches — plan your path across runs.

— WAVE DEFENSE ROGUELITE —

Enemy variety makes every run a new puzzle. Early waves flood with rushers. Mid-game introduces weavers that spiral through gaps and shard clusters that burst on death. Late waves bring bombers that punish careless close-range kills and snipers that halt outside blade range and fire precision shots at the core.

No run plays the same. Mandala Defense rewards both sharp reflexes and smart card sequencing — a natural fit for fans of Vampire Survivors, Survivor.io, and auto-battle action games.

— FOCUSED & FAIR —

• Portrait, one-handed — play anywhere, any time
• Auto-rotating defense — no thumbstick, no movement controls
• ~3.5-minute runs — fast sessions, high replayability
• Rewarded ads: optional revive or double Shards after a run (always opt-in, never forced)

Your mandala is alive. Keep it spinning. Keep the core intact.
