Strategic Tower Defense Game Defend the Cake Launches on Steam

Indie game developers, Defend the Cake team, announced the launch of their strategic and scrumptious Tower Defense game: Defend the Cake!

Check out the launch trailer of Defend the Cake, featuring some gameplay footage:

“What inspired this all ages game that features grasshoppers with jet packs and snails with a rocket taped to their shell? “I had some ideas for a fantastical food-themed world with castles made out of cake, and Justin had ideas he wanted to explore for a more strategic tower defense game that focused on mazing as a core mechanic,” said Naomi Yee, Founder and Creative Designer.

The game is set amidst a bright, cheery, island kingdom of enticing desserts. Eggperor Shellmane has baked a castle full of desserts to share with his kingdom, but a variety of thieving bugs each want the cakes for themselves. Defend your Cake by building walls made of toast and a variety of delicious defenses.
