What it is

Turn-based tower defense in a garden: each day you reposition gnomes, plant crops and grow the economy, then hold off the goblin horde at night on a map that expands every day.

What players liked

Players praise this fresh rogue-lite Tower Defense game for its dynamic strategies, varied builds, and engaging upgrade choices.

The catch

Runs hinge on shop luck, so bad rolls mean restarting the map over and over.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 95% positive, but with 1,730 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
