What is The White Laboratory?

A physics-based tower defense and real-time strategy game set in a facility in the atmosphere of a remote gas planet. During a scheduled maintenance check, you assemble robotic parts into defenses and flying probes, move scrap, and clear unwanted objects across a series of missions. Sandbox and survival modes let you test designs or defend a fortress.

For you if...

  • +you like building defenses from modular robotic parts
  • +you enjoy physics-driven strategy with real-time pauses
  • +you want sandbox experiments alongside defense missions

Not for you if...

  • you prefer placing preset towers and upgrading them
  • you want multiplayer rather than single-player defense
  • you dislike accounting for physics when planning defenses
