Mini guardians
About Mini guardians
Pixel art from the arcade era is the presentation, and underneath it sits a castle defence game with light role-playing elements. Waves of enemies come for your walls, towers and dungeons, and you position guardians to hold each approach rather than controlling a single character. The eighties styling is a deliberate throwback rather than a shortcut, with sprite work detailed enough to tell unit types apart at a glance, which matters when several waves are on screen. Placement decisions early in a level tend to determine how the last waves go.
How to Play
- Place your guardians to cover the approaches to the castle.
- Match unit types against the enemies coming down each route.
- Reinforce a lane before it breaks rather than after.
- Hold your towers and dungeons, not just the front wall.

Can I move guardians once a wave has started?
Repositioning mid-wave is far less effective than setting up correctly beforehand, since a guardian in transit is defending nothing. Levels are short enough that restarting with a better opening layout usually beats trying to rescue a bad one.
