Dead Tree Defender is a classic Flash-era tower defense game where players use archers to defend a large, central dead tree from waves of cute, baby-like demons or monsters using arrows, requiring aim, timing (power/angle), and movement (jumping/ducking) to survive waves and upgrade their defense, take control of a single archer whom, joined by two automated team-mates, are set to the seemingly impossible task of defending a withered, leafless old tree against an increasingly large opposition.
