Remembering Buster — A Tribute to the Goodest Boy

💔 Remembering Buster — The Dog Who Started It All


It’s with great sadness that I share that Buster, the real-life dog who inspired Buster’s Tower Defense, has passed away peacefully at the age of 14.



This update honors Buster. Buster was more than a mascot — he was the reason this project ever existed. Every bark, every bit of humor, every moment of chaos that defined the game came from him. When I was first experimenting with the earliest prototypes, Buster was always there — sleeping next to the keyboard, barking during recordings, or staring at me with that look that said, “you’ve been debugging for six hours straight, go outside.”

He lived a long, happy, and beautiful life. He brought joy to everyone who met him — both in person and through the game. His spirit shaped everything about Buster’s Tower Defense: the jokes, the explosions, the loyalty, and the heart. Buster reminded us that fun matters, that chaos can be creative, and that love — for a dog, a dream, or a silly tower defense game — is what gives it all meaning.

Buster’s Tower Defense exists because of one good dog and the laughter he inspired. Every player who’s built a scuffed maze, saluted the Slapper Tower, or accidentally sent a drone into orbit has shared in that legacy. This isn’t just a game — it’s a celebration of the joy Buster brought into the world.

Thank you to everyone in the community who’s shared kind words, memories, and support. Your love has meant the world. Buster may be gone, but his pawprints will forever remain — in the code, in the community, and in the hearts of everyone who loved him.

Rest easy, Buster. You’ll always be part of the defense grid. 🐾

Minor Update - For your Buster Pleasure

  • Made it so sound volume doesn't blow out your speakers the first time you play
  • Adjusted tower sounds to have some variation when firing (my cat found it more relaxing)
  • Fixed bugs with killboxes on endless levels that made them an unwinnable sh*tshow if you happened to fling an enemy so hard they launch into space
  • Some other minor adjustments that I've already forgotten about
