Our take on Garden Rescue

The game centers its conflict on garden plants defending their home from beetles. Its premise gives the player command of the plants rather than placing the focus on human characters.

What is Garden Rescue?

Garden Rescue is a casual strategy game about defending a garden from groups of hungry beetles.

Plants that have been living quietly in the garden take up the defense when insects arrive. The player commands this small army of garden defenders and leads their response to the threat. The central objective is to rescue the plants and protect their garden from the invasion.
