Should you play it?

GROSS is a unique twist on the classic tower defense genre. After building your defenses, you will jump into the action to take on enemies head-on. Make sure to collect as much cash as possible to upgrade your defenses and stay ahead of the game. Can you outlast the waves of enemies?

  • Turrets often feel underpowered and expensive
  • Money collection mechanics can be frustrating

How to use the graph

Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the game’s motivation profile. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

GROSS: Less representative of its motivational profile, with noticeable differences. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Survival, Violence, Fellowship, Intimacy. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Status, Competition. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Continuation.
