Everwarder is a fresh tower defense roguelite hybrid about clearing the darkness
Everwarder asks: how long will your light last? Not very long in some of my attempts. It's a fresh feeling spin that merges tower defense with a bit of roguelite action together, as you attempt to break through the darkness.

Note:
- User stats page / PC info is being retired. For various reasons. I'll move picking your distro for your comments icon over to the profile page.
- User profile social links are for editors only now. Honestly, we never actually moderated or checked them over, it's one less headache for me. Surprisingly, they weren't actually filled much, and a lot of the time people put up broken links too <_<.
I'm taking on far too much all the time, I want to keep GOL focused on all the regular content and all these various offshoots were distracting (and often stressful to deal with).
