Totempo is a mysterious Tower Defense game with an emphasis on puzzling and musicality. Can you achieve 3-stars ranking on every level ?

CONTROLS AND INSTRUCTIONS :

Use the mouse to control the game.

In-game instructions :

Select and place instruments from the menu in the upper right corner. You have a limited amount of instruments in each level. Delete an instrument by pressing the cross button above it. You will not be refunded.

Press start to start the next wave. While the wave proceeds, instruments will emit their sounds according to their rythm (on every beat, once every two beat, once every four beat, or never). Select a tower's rythm using the wooden buttons besides it.

The dancing totems are affected by the instruments :
- if the instrument's sound is of the same color as the TOP totem head, it will be destroyed.
- if the instrument's sound is not of the same color as the TOP totem head, a totem head of the instrument's color will be added (with a maximum of four heads per character).
- some instruments are MEDDLERS (light blue, light red and light green) : instead of destroying or adding totem heads, they will add their color to the TOP totem head's : for instance, a yellow meddler emitting sound on a red totem head will produce an orange totem head.

Destroy every totem character within the wave time to complete the wave. If you exceed your time, you will restart the level. Complete every wave to complete the level !
