Skyling: Garden Defense

Released: 4/19/2016

Skyling: Garden Defense is a 2D, isometric maze game that blends classic arcade-style game play with a lighthearted world of blooming plants, colorful monsters and sleepy cats. Help a young Skyling named Bloom restore each garden by touching every square to spring them back to life. But be careful, the gardens have been overrun with Blight Monsters that want to destroy everything, including young Bloom! Thankfully, the gardens have switches, gates and elevators you can use to avoid their grasp. The gardens are also home to some adorable sleeping cats you can pick up and move. Position the cats around to keep the Blight Monsters away, or use them to hold down switches for you. They don't mind. They'll sleep anywhere! Inspired by arcade classics like Pac-Man, Q*Bert and Crystal Castles. Skyling: Garden Defense is simple, maze-game fun suitable for all ages.
