Escape From The Red Planet is a tower defense game developed by Frosty Pop. In this game, you play as Commander Abigail Blackwell of The Orion III, who is stranded on Mars after a crash landing. You need to manage your resources carefully to defend yourself against the incoming Martian attacks while waiting for rescue. The game features three different modes: Level, Survival, and Last Stand.

In Level mode, you can play through the game's 25 levels, each with a different challenge. Survival mode is unlocked after completing Level mode, where you can test your skills against an endless wave of incoming Martians. In Last Stand mode, you must fight off the Martians as long as you can with no tools, only your blaster in a first-person mode. The game offers nine buildable tools for tower offense and defense, and you can uncover and fight off each of the many species of Martian. You can toggle between tower and first-person viewing modes to personally pick off some pesky Martians.
