About
An atmospheric tower-defence strategy game about holding back an oozing toxic Tide. A distant mining colony has awakened a living flood that seeps from breaches in the ground. Dig for resources, raise the land for defence, and burn your way to seal the breaches. Can you survive the Biletide?
Dig, raise and reshape a 3D voxel battlefield
Control the flow of an unthinking but rising toxic enemy
Burn, block or redirect with towers and defences
Build to manage scarce resources
Deal with pollution as burning the Biletide releases toxic smog
Survive an escalating campaign where every decision matters
Design and share your own levels through Steam workshop
Dig into the voxel terrain to gather the resources your colony needs to survive. Every building or raised tile costs precious material, so expansion always comes with risk. Dig too deep and you provide riverbeds for the tide.
The only way to push back the Biletide is with fire. Build plasma flamethrower towers to hold key choke points and fight your way towards the breaches. But each burn comes with a risk, releasing a toxic smog into the air and suffocating your solar panels.
The Biletide flows seeking the lowest ground. Dig channels and reshape the battlefield to redirect it away from your base.
Some buildings need to be powered, and woe betide you if you get surrounded.
Play through a campaign as colonists struggle to survive on a doomed mining colony. Each mission introduces new pressures and harder choices as the Biletide spreads further across the planet.
Design your own Biletide missions with the built-in level editor. Place terrain, buildings and of course the Biletide. Then share through the Steam Workshop or play levels made by other players.

Excellent game. I adore games that use liquid physics in interesting ways, and this does just that. I was expecting a carbon copy of Creeper World, but it does plenty to differentiate itself.
Really enjoying this game! The gameplay strikes a great balance between strategy and quick decision making, and it's surprisingly tense once the bile starts spreading. Every level had me thinking "I can definitely do this better" which made it hard to stop playing. Challenging, satisfying, and easy to recommend if you enjoy games that reward quick thinking, clever planning and smart strategy. Highly recommended!

Think fast, or get swallowed by the bile! This is an interesting take on strategy game, where the enemy is constantly coming at you, from everywhere and fast! You can't really take your time to build your perfect little base. You have to expand and seal the breaches fast, or the level of the bile becomes overwhelming and you lose. I really enjoy the fast thinking required to finish the levels, and the fact that you can create your own to expand the lay time is great. I recommend this game for anyone who likes puzzle games and strategy games, but with a slightly faster pace than usual :)
Very clever, unique game.
I'm completely new to games like this, so I'm still figuring everything out. The tutorial is good, it's just a lot to take in as a complete beginner. Even so, I've really enjoyed BileTide. It's obvious a lot of thought and care has gone into it. A really well-made, well-designed game.
Great indie game with a novel concept. I like how new technologies are introduced as you progress through the levels.
great tower defence-like game. Like the micromanagement of the towers and the combinations of of them. Music and the art are very fresh and theme worthy.
What a fun concept for a tower defence game. Loved the music and overall theme. The UI looks great. I found this very addictive very quickly. There is certainly a steep learning curve and it doesn't hold your hand. The little celebration noise when you win a level is a great dopamine hit. Highly recommend if you like a challenge and something a little different.
good game from a new developer in the same vein as creeper world, More of a focus on puzzle mechanics with this tile will keep an eye on what else they will cook up in the future.
Great game so far. Unique and atmospheric.
