SHORT DESCRIPTION

A bazillion garden gnomes. One cottage. Plant sprinklers, compost cannons and pot mortars in your flower beds, give them a target and watch thousands of ceramic gnomes shatter with a satisfying clink. Spend the shards in your garden shed, alone or in co-op with a friend.


DESCRIPTION

Somewhere above the clouds floats a tiny garden with a cosy little cottage. Unfortunately, the garden gnomes have decided it belongs to them. All of them. At once.

Gnome Horde: Garden Defense is a cosy tower defense with an incremental heart. Plant toy towers in flower beds and hedges, give each one a target point and a spread, and then the horde rolls in: thousands of glazed ceramic gnomes march on your cottage and shatter into shards with a satisfying clink. Shards become upgrades, upgrades become stronger towers, and stronger towers make even more shards.


FEATURES

- Aim every tower: ten toy towers, from the Sprinkler to the Scarecrow. Most of them don't pick their own targets: you click a target point and set the spread with the mouse wheel.
- A horde made to shatter: thousands of glazed ceramic gnomes, more than 100,000 in the biggest battles.
- Ten gardens, twenty levels: from the Cottage Garden to the glowing Volcano Garden. Eight kinds of gnomes, and at the very end a giant.
- The garden shed: over 100 upgrades, a specialisation for every tower and three currencies (shards, golden hats, lucky clovers).
- Endless mode and co-op: growing waves, a boss every tenth wave; solo or with a friend over Steam, on the whole map or a half each.
- Four abilities in battle (Water Bomb, Lawnmower, Giant Pumpkin, Frost Hose) at 1x, 2x or 3x speed. Full controller support, English and German.
