Walls Were Built to Fall Hits 13,000 Steam Wishlists Before 2027 Launch
Zoomy Cat Games published the Steam store page for Walls Were Built to Fall on September 10. By September 23, the defense roguelite FPS had passed 13,000 wishlists. The game puts the player in the role of an apprentice mage who must protect a magic spring from a pixel-art horde that can reach one million enemies at once. Players fight from atop a wall in a canyon, or descend to the ground, using rapid-fire, explosive, and ice-spike magic. Roguelite and incremental upgrades let them build walls, lay traps, and hire mages and archers between attempts. A prototype video posted about a month before the store page went live drew around 350,000 views and 8,500 likes, before the project had a title. The developer has said a small-scale playtest is planned for one or two months out, and the game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in the second quarter of 2027.
