Summary
Today, we break down Galaxy Defense, a sci-fi-themed tower defense/survival clone that’s generating $100K/day in IAP with only around 135K DAU.
🎯 Topics covered:
Gameplay breakdown: lasers, turrets, force fields & randomizer
Monetization: IAP heavy, ~12% ads, “Remove Ads” pack as a top purchase
Why CPIs are likely $50–100+ in Tier 1 markets
Revenue: ~$220K/day combined, with Android more than iOS
UA creatives: TikTok memes, fake interviews, AI actors — mostly 3.5/10 execution
Why this isn’t yet the “Western prophecy hit” for tower defense
👉 Subscribe for brutally honest deep dives into UA, monetization & game design.
