Unique defense game with fun, light-hearted theme and presentation. Great cast of characters with a variety of mechanics and a plethora of upgrades. The extra Survival and Escape modes are a nice addition to an already great indie game. GG!

Way back, I played this game halfway through but never finished it for some reason. I picked it up again 10 years later, started over from scratch, and beat the whole thing, and I'm glad I did. What a great little game. There are lots of different characters to unlock with different abilities. It seems like I gravitated toward completely different ones this time than last, looking at my old data from 10 years ago. The battlefield can get pretty chaotic at times, but the difficulty scales quite well as you buy more upgrades. The art is also great. Very cute style. And the music is great too, which is good for a game about music. I also like the minigames, which are a great way to earn money without repeating the same story mode levels over and over again. There's a survival mode where you try to survive as long as you can against a never-ending swarm of enemies and a distance game where you try to run as far as you can while dodging all the obstacles and enemies. Fantastic game overall.
