Raiders at the Gate, a tower defense web game, launched on Hacker News as a Show HN post. The game is playable directly in the browser at games.chrisbeach.co.uk, built by developer cbeach.

Tower defense remains a durable genre in web games, where players place defensive structures to stop waves of enemies from reaching a goal. Raiders at the Gate follows that template with a browser-native implementation, making it immediately accessible without installation or downloads. The show sparked early interest on Hacker News, attracting 2 points and 2 comments within hours of posting on September 10.

Web-based game launches have become a common entry point for indie developers, particularly for genre-familiar games like tower defense where players already understand the core loop. Browser games sidestep distribution friction and reach players across devices — a significant advantage over platform-specific releases.

The post provides no detail on development timeline, feature roadmap, or the developer's next steps, but the live release marks the project's public debut.
