About this game
Islets Defense is a turn-based tower defense game focused on resource management in which you build a small and efficient village to support your towers and secure victory.
A turn consists of executing one of the four available actions, each with its own unique functionality. The order of the cards plays a key role, with the rightmost card offering a stronger effect. After completing your turn, the chosen card moves to the leftmost position, pushing the others one step forward. Consistent and efficient use of all four cards is key to building a solid defense.
Allocate your towers in strategic positions, sustain them with food, upgrade them with wood and stone, and ensure a strong defense against the slimes. Chests and stage modifiers will offer new strategic opportunities, with unique towers and various upgrades to explore.
Each building has different upgrade options for you to choose from. Build the most efficient village by making smart decisions that synergize with your positioning strategy!
The mist has covered your entire kingdom! You start the game with an unexplored map, ready to be revealed! Use the exploration action to reach new resources, gain visibility for your attack towers, and discover hidden treasures!
Advance through stages, complete challenges, and earn diamonds and feathers to unlock and face different biomes! Islets Defense is the game for those looking for a classic tower defense experience mixed with the chilling vibes of a resource management game, all wrapped up in easy-to-understand mechanics filled with creative possibilities.
25+ different building structures, each with their own unique abilities.
A 15-stage campaign featuring distinct modifiers, level design, biomes, and challenges.
6 different upgrades available for many buildings.
20 different tiles scattered throughout the stages, each with its own unique and intuitive interactions.
10+ hours of playtime!

Controller Support is HERE! 🎮 (+ Steam Trading Cards)
Hello Slime Destroyers!Remember when we said controller support would be out in early August? Yeah, about that. Turns out adapting an entire game to work properly with a gamepad was no small feat. 😅 But the wait is over, we’re thrilled to announce full controller support! We’ve been playing with controllers ourselves, and honestly, we love it. We think you will too. This update also brings Steam Trading Cards! Along with them, you’ll find profile backgrounds, emotes, and other cool collectibles. And finally, here are some extra tweaks and fixes not specifically related to controller support:⚖️ BALANCEHardcore 4-2: Slightly easier now. After replaying as if we were new players, this stage was a bit harder than intended. We toned down enemy HP a little.🎮 QUALITY OF LIFESnow event now explains its effects the first time it appears.Thermometer tooltip improved for clarity.Added “Hardcore” prefix on leaderboard for easier recognition on screenshots (that's for you folks on Discord!).🛠️ FIXESVarious text tweaks across multiple languages.Fixed vegetarian mode still showing meat in a few places (unacceptable!!!!).Localized the lava shop “Back” button (previously English only).Dropdown menus in settings now have a visual cue.20% OFF for a limited time, grab it while it lasts!Read full article on Community Announcements (Matheus Cunegato)AnnouncementsOfficial

Update on Steamdeck and Controller Support
Hello Islet Defenders! 🏝️We hope you're all having a wonderful day, protecting the kingdom and holding the castle!We wanted to share that we’re currently working on making Islets Defense run smoothly on the Steam Deck, and alongside that, we're adding full controller support! 🎮Now, while this might sound like a simple task, it’s actually a bit tricky. Our game has a lot of mouse interactions that don’t easily translate to a controller, like hovering over currencies to read their descriptions, or placing buildings on a big grid. And since we’re just a team of three, we want to take our time and do it right, instead of dropping in a clunky “virtual mouse” solution.Now that the big round of launch bugfixes is behind us, we’ll be shifting full focus to this task. Our current goal is to wrap it up by late July or early August, but we’ll keep you posted if that changes!That’s it for this short dev update, we hope you’re all enjoying your time defending your tiny islands. And hey, don’t forget to join our Discord to share your scores and chat with other defenders! It’s been super fun seeing a bit of friendly competition spark up there. 🔥Thanks so much for reading, and have a great day!— Matheus CunegatoMiniGoofRead full article on Community Announcements (Matheus Cunegato)
