Read the road. Build your crew. Hold the line.

I'm Ahmed from ANKH Studio. Cinderline is a dark-fantasy tower defense game: 160 gates across eight regions, 12 tower crews that branch into specialist paths, 27 champions and 9 powers. Every wave is shown before you send it, and when a gate falls the defeat card names the creep that broke your line.

Buy Cinderline on itch.io:

Windows + Linux edition, US$7.99: ankh-studio.itch.io/cinderline-windows
Full Browser Edition, US$5.99: ankh-studio.itch.io/cinderline-full-browser

How it was made: the art, music, sound effects and voice lines were made with generative AI (OpenAI image generation, Qwen-Image and Bria RMBG via Runware, MiniMax Music, ByteDance Seed Audio and MiniMax Speech), then cut, masked and animated by scripts written for the game. The code was written with AI coding assistants under my direction.

When a road doubles back, do you spend first on damage or on slowing enemies?

  • Villains speak when they walk onto the road and when they fall.
  • New music, sound effects and voice lines.
  • Repainted enemies that look wounded under 35% health, new battlefield textures and animated set pieces.
