StartupTD waitlist is live - Tower Defense for Indie Hackers 🎮

The waitlist for StartupTD is officially open! 🎉

Quick recap: A few days ago I asked what game to build with my PlanetScale credits. After all your amazing suggestions, I landed on something that felt too perfect - a tower defense game about startup survival.

What is StartupTD?

Defend your startup from waves of enemies using MRR as currency. Classic tower defense mechanics meets indie hacker humor.

Your defenses:

• 🐦 Tweet Tower - shoots at haters

• ☕ Coffee Station - speeds everything up

• 📝 Content Marketing Cannon - AOE damage

• 💳 Payment Gateway - converts enemies to customers

• 🚀 Product Hunt Nuke - massive damage, long cooldown

Your enemies:

• 💬 Haters ("this already exists")

• 🐛 Bugs (production down!)

• 🏢 Big Tech Clones (unlimited budget)

• 💸 Churn (steals your MRR)

• 🤖 AI Replacement ("ChatGPT does this for free")

• 👑 YC-backed Competitor (final boss with $50M funding)

Features:

• Global leaderboards

• Shareable death screens

• Multiple game modes

• Daily challenges

• 100% free to play

Shipping by end of this weekend or early next week. Building in public, so feel free to drop suggestions for towers/enemies you'd want to see!

P.S. Yes, the death screens will be meme-worthy. "Crushed by a unicorn at $4.7K MRR" energy 😂
