Savage Moon is a PlayStation 3 tower defense strategy game by British studio FluffyLogic which sees the player protecting a remote, off-world mining facility from constant attack by Insectocytes, a type of carnivorous creature inhabiting the planets. The mission is to strategically place an array of upgradeable, defensive weapons in the way of the bugs. There is a range of towers, from rapid-fire machine guns to support towers such as the chaos tower.

The game was released for download on the PlayStation Network in the PAL region on 24 December 2008[1] and in North America on 29 January 2009. A Waldegeist Pack edition was released in the UK on 6 August 2009.

In 2010 the soundtrack to the DLC of Savage Moon: Waldgeist - also composed by Elsaesser, was nominated for Best Original Video Game Score in the 55th Ivor Novello Awards.[2] This was the first year that music from games was given a category in the awards.

On 22 December 2009 a new game set in the same universe and featuring some of the same units and towers was released, titled The Hera Campaign.
