About Zeppelin Rush


Zeppelin Rush is a reverse tower defense game where you lead a crew of furious goblins in an explosive assault aerial assault against a heavily fortified dwarf stronghold. The dwarves stole your gold, now it’s payback time.

Build and pilot a fleet of goblin-engineered war zeppelins, smashing through enemy towers while collecting loot to upgrade your fleet and multiply your forces. Choose your path across lanes of combat, with varying tower layouts and rewards. Adapt your strategy mid-flight by upgrading engines, armor, and weapons as you make your way further into enemy territory!

Each run is a fast-paced mix of strategy, destruction, and resource management, challenging you to balance risk and reward on the fly. With chaotic goblin tech, real-time destruction, explosive visuals, and strategic lane selection, Zeppelin Rush delivers an action-packed twist on the tower defense formula from the sky, with vengeance.

Take flight. Break towers. Reclaim your gold. The goblins are coming - and nothing is safe...
  • Fast paced gameplay requiring rapid decision making
  • Intense layout of enemy towers that foster intense combat
  • Economy based deployment and upgrade system

This game changed my life, truly a modern classic in the 21st century. A reverse tower defense idle game, what a beautiful concept. Nothing is more satisfying than sending thousands of Zeppelins against the castle and watching it crumble under my massive wave. The art is gorgeous and inspired, I could see myself flying one of the zeppelins in real life. The goblins are beautiful little creatures, I wish to be part of their crew. They are beings with limitless power and truly no bad ideas. This game is a masterclass in how to design a UI. There's a how to play section although it's not there from the main menu, but that's okay since it took 45 seconds to figure out how the entire game works. I absolutely love the limitless FPS. The faster I see the blimps move, the better. This rivals Bloons Tower Defense as best Tower Defense games.

Not much to the game in its current state. I wonder how successful it can be if it were to be expanded with a campaign and more units on both sides.

Wonderful game. Full of personality and very impressive for being a student made game. The art is wonderful and the simplicity of the game play is satisfying while still being complex enough to work your brain. 10/10

I appreciate the avoidance of front-loading the tutorial page, even in spite of this game's rampant difficulty with out a proper understanding of the mechanics. The first thing the book doesn't teach me is that the bottom turrets are just set dressing, so that means it has less defense but also less opportunity to make money. It has a finely tuned challenge where a few attempts were only a few seconds away from three stars. The game is a novelty among its peers as a grain sitter; only one other so far has evoked this mood, and it was only vaguely lenticulated on a survival rhythm. The difficulty in creating this mood is apparent by the lack of more than one level; to create variations within a base set of variations is an exercise in plumbing the depths of creativity, and so I think it was the right choice to simply focus on that base set. Age of War is a classic among flash games, and all games of this size excel for their ability to discern when less is more in different ways. When comparing animation, Age of War has a large assortment of humanoids that need to move across the field, and now this is sidestepped with flying machines that can afford to animate on a static frame.…

An interesting bare bones mechanics's tester. Felt good, played good. Only note? Change the dwarves to elves. Dwarves IMO, would be coded as regular working class trade school ppl. Make the elves some highborn snobs and that makes gobbos wrecking them more fun.
