Our take on TailQuest Defense

The defining detail is the combination of tower placement and puzzle-platforming, with levers that can change entire levels.

What is TailQuest Defense?

TailQuest Defense combines tower defense with puzzle-platforming in a small world floating in the sky.

Players control Nell while defending Riventail’s fluffy inhabitants from Nands, robotic invaders that kidnap them. Towers can be placed at strategic points across colorful landscapes, while the environment and special items such as tomato mines and a bubble gun can be used against the robots. Exploration includes hidden treasures and secrets, and levers can change entire levels. The game supports single-player and local cooperative play. Local co-op requires a gamepad and keyboard, or two gamepads. The game uses colorful graphics and is presented as nonviolent. It also includes hundreds of enemies and environmental puzzles.
