What is Lumencraft?

In this top-down shooter and tower defense game, you drill through destructible underground terrain to find Lumen, gather resources, build defenses, and fight swarms attacking your base. A campaign and procedurally generated maps frame the search for an energy source that could help humanity survive without electricity or light.
