Needle Guardian 〜針の番人〜 Demo

Unravel, awaken, defend. A tower defense of plushies. Unravel the cotton walls to open paths, and plush friends spring to life to hold back the invaders on their own. There is only one thing you must never lose: the core - a heart. Nine soft, faintly eerie layers of the mind are waiting.

About Needle Guardian 〜針の番人〜 Demo

[h2]Dig. Place. Defend.[/h2]Carve tunnels through the walls to decide where the invaders walk, then station your plush companions along that path. Where you dig is where they come.[h2]One heart to protect[/h2]At the center lies a single core - a heart. The invaders do not want to destroy it. They want to carry it away. Stop them before they reach the exit, or take it back by force.[h2]Raise them, change them[/h2]Your companions grow from the battles they survive.

Spend the materials you earn to evolve them, and they change - their form, their attacks, the way they hold the line.[h2]Nine chapters, nine kings[/h2]The Fraying Start. The Cold Seam. The Wavering Mirror-thread. Each chapter is a different layer of a mind, with its own terrain, its own invaders, and a king waiting at the end.[h2]The Extra Dungeon: 100 layers[/h2]Unlocked after the main story.

One heart, one long run. The deeper the layer, the stronger they come - and there is no going back.[h2]Soft, and a little unsettling[/h2]Hand-drawn pixel art. Plush bodies stitched from feeling, facing an intruder made of pure reason. Fully playable in English and Japanese.
