Shelter Survival

Shelter Survival is an idle arcade game where players manage a shelter and defend against waves of enemies. The game features a cartoon visual style and idle progression mechanics, allowing for short, interruptible play sessions. Progression is tied to watching ads or making in-app purchases, which some players feel can be a significant barrier for free-to-play users.
