Box10 Roaches

Box10 Roaches was one of those straightforward tower defense games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, functional way to pass some time. The presentation was simple, with a clear goal set against a basic backdrop, typical for many games from that period.

You control a set of defensive pieces, placing them along a path to stop waves of insects. Your main objective is to prevent the roaches from reaching the end of the path, which in this case is a picnic table. You earn currency from defeated enemies to buy new towers or upgrade existing ones, choosing between different types with varying range and power. The pacing starts slow but builds steadily, and a misjudged placement can quickly lead to a breach. It feels like a quiet, methodical puzzle where you are constantly adjusting your strategy against an encroaching tide.
