Short description

Tau Cubis is a mazing tower defense game set in colorful sci-fi landscapes. Use your strategic skills to overcome numerous challenges and advance through the leaderboards.

About this game

They are coming ! Protect your base and fend off hordes of relentless robots ! Tau Cubis is a 3D Sci-Fi Tower Defense game, taking inspiration from the classic 'Defense Grid' with extra features (collaborative Towers, advanced targeting system, truly autonomous enemies). Tau Cubis offers different Map types and you will need to adapt your strategy. Some maps will rather test your skills in "Mazing Tower Defense", while others will require you to manage your resources well and find the most effective combinations of Towers. Smart Towers Your Towers collaborate, buffing each other. Your Towers can be assigned a global priority target type in real time : Just one click for all Towers to target in priority a specific enemy type. "Mazing" Tower Defense game Each enemy is truly autonomous and there is no predefined path ! Your choices immediately modify the dynamic of the fight for the whole map. 111 challenges ! Each map is playable in 4 to 8 Modes for 111 Challenges . Leaderboards Compare Your score to the best scores or just your Friends' through the Steam Leaderboards. Notes from me :) Please, keep in mind, Tau Cubis is a solo game development, is not story driven and does not feature cinematic. The more challenges you complete, the more Towers, Enemies and Maps you unlock. Tau Cubis is inspired by other games and especially the amazing franchise : Defense Grid. I'd like to offer you a minimalist strategic Tower Defense game with colorful graphics and smart mechanics :) Full Controller, Mouse and Keyboard (WASD control or classic ) : your choice ! Quick to learn, easy to play for intense 20 minute session. Online leaderboards, but you still can play offline and upload your scores later. Don't hesitate for any questions or feedback at [email protected] or in Steam Discussion section !

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

Tau Cubis's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Tau Cubis's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Tau Cubis at $4.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
