About the Game
Bump Guardian is a real-time deck-building defense game about protecting new life.
You play as the Bump Guardian — a living shield surrounding a growing fetus — defending against waves of incoming threats throughout the weeks of pregnancy. Enemies actively advance toward the ring, and it is up to you to stop them before they break through.
Gameplay
Each level is divided into waves. During a wave, enemies move toward the Bump Guardian while you play cards in real time to damage threats, heal the guardian, and stabilize your defenses. Your hand size is limited, requiring careful timing and prioritization.
If enemies reach the ring, they deal damage directly to it. The fetus remains protected as long as the ring holds — when it fails, the journey restarts.
The pacing emphasizes thoughtful decisions over fast reactions, keeping the experience approachable and calm.
Deckbuilding
Before each wave, you build and adjust your deck from the cards you have unlocked. Cards are designed to complement different strategies, such as focusing on offense, healing, or control.
Once a wave begins, your deck is locked in — making preparation just as important as execution.
Progression
Progress through pregnancy-inspired stages that reflect the passage of time and development. As you advance, new cards unlock, enemy get increasingly stronger, and strategic complexity increases.
Your journey is structured to mirror growth and care, with each stage introducing fresh challenges while maintaining a gentle, supportive tone.

A note from the developer
Bump Guardian is a solo project hand-crafted between nap times and late nights. As a full-time mum to twin babies, building this game has been my way of exploring themes of protection and growth.

Charting on Steam + Final Launch Details for Bump Guardian!
Hello all! First off, a massive thank you to everyone who played the demo during Next Fest and helped push Bump Guardian up the charts! Thanks to your support, the game is currently sitting at: #3 in Upcoming (Deckbuilders > Tower Defense)#17 in Single-player (Deckbuilders > Tower Defense) For a solo, twin-mom developer putting out their first official Steam game, seeing a niche, personal project hit these ranks is incredible. What to Expect at Launch As I head into the final stretch before release, here is a quick look at what’s locked in for launch day: 10 Complete Levels: A tight, linear campaign taking you from Conception to Labor. Launch Price & Discount: The game will be priced at $6.99, with a 20% launch discount ($5.59) during release week. Full Language & Display Support: Complete settings for display and 14 languages. A Quick Note for Strategy Fans I had to scope back to just a singleton campaign mode for now so if you'd love to see a Multiples Mode free DLC in the future, let me know by leaving a review at launch! Player reviews will directly guide what post-launch content we build next. Thank you again for all the wishlists, feedback, and support. I can't wait to get the full game into your hands very soon!
