Slow Caravan

Turret defense game

Phones and computers

Slow Caravan is a turret defense game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Steer a wagon that never stops crawling across the desert while its turrets fight off beetles and other foes. Each turret fires only the way it faces, so the wagon's heading is how you aim, and halting to harvest scrap makes you a sitting target. Spend coins on turrets and repairs between legs; five legs reach the city gate.

Tips

Foes that drop far behind the wagon give up and vanish, so a steady crawl sheds some pursuers on its own while a halt lets every one of them arrive.
Spitters appear from leg three and hang back at range lobbing grit, three damage a shot, so swing a long-reach turret such as the Bolt or Mortar toward them.
Repairs cost one coin per two points of damage, and armour adds 25 to the wagon's maximum for 80 coins, up to 200, so armour early is a lasting buy.

How does harvesting work?

Halt within reach of a scrap pile and it pays six coins a second until its 60 coins are gone. The wagon stands still the whole time, so beetles close in from every side and only the turrets facing them can answer. The bot halts only when nothing is near.

What changes on the last leg?

A dust storm hides everything beyond 200 units, so beetles and brutes appear close to the wagon with little warning. Brutes, which bite hardest, start on leg four, and foes gain 25% health each leg. The run opens with two Bolt turrets, front and back, and 120 coins.
