Backyard Defenders

More about Backyard Defenders

Backyard Defenders is a single-player tower defense game where hungry insects turn an afternoon picnic into a fight for survival. Build your defenses across a 15-by-7 battlefield, spend earned sugar on upgrades, and decide which threats to stop first. Six ways to defend your backyard: Salt Shaker, Bug Zapper, Water Sprinkler, Spider Web, Fly Swatter, Water Balloon. Every run funds the next. Waves grow stronger, and surviving your first boss takes preparation. Earn a separate research fund as you play, then spend it on permanent upgrades to your economy and defenders. Defeat ends the run, but your research carries forward. Experiment with new layouts and return with a stronger starting position. Face five boss types: Ant Empress, Beetle Titan, Spider Weaver, Moth Oracle, Locust Storm. Each brings its own abilities. A boss that reaches the picnic ends your run. Earn your progress through play: All sugar is earned in the game. There are no in-game purchases. Unlock six Steam achievements and use Steam Cloud to carry your account's saved progress between Windows PCs. Runs save at wave checkpoints; exiting during a wave resumes from its starting checkpoint.
