If you need me . . .

. . . I’m probably on the couch, playing this game. It’s been a while since I found one this absorbing! I haven’t beaten it on Normal because it’s kind of hard, though I’m doing better since I started swapping gargoyles around. I especially like seeing what perks my gargoyles have and leveling them up. I’ve always liked tower defense games, and I find the indie art style of this one appealing. The gargoyles are adorable!

Excellent tower defense game!

This game is a great challenge in Normal mode and still challenging enough to be fun in Easy mode. I love the way scoring is cumulative, so you really have to budget your pixies. The art and sound effects work together to create a lived-in, homespun vibe and the story is well integrated into the game, not just something you read at the beginning and then forget.

Karl Voskuil has officially launched Gargoyles on iOS, letting players dive into a tower defence strategy RPG with gargoyles mixed in.
