A new trailer showcasing several new features, mechanics, and surprises has also been released

Brazilian studio MiniGoof, founded by former developers of Horizon Chase 2 and Fortnite, is celebrating the global release of its first original title today. Islets Defense is now available on PC via Steam with a special launch promotion, offering 10% off for a limited time. Published by Nuntius Games, this is the publisher’s first worldwide launch. Console versions are also on the way for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, as well as iOS and Android.

A brand-new trailer is also available, showing off the game’s features, including a variety of minigames and surprises players will discover as they defend their castle.

A Different Kind of Tower Defense

“We want to highlight the unique mix of Tower Defense and turn-based strategy. This combination brings a fresh dynamic to the genre, where every move must be carefully considered. It’s also a way to attract players who might not usually connect with traditional Tower Defense games. The variety of mechanics, handcrafted campaign levels with no randomness, and the balance between strategic depth and mechanical simplicity make it both inviting for experimentation and rewarding for mastery. The pace feels a lot like a cozy board game.”
, Matheus Cunegato, game designer of Islets Defense

The game includes 30 levels, 15 regular plus 15 in Hardcore Mode. It offers global score progression, charming visuals, and an original soundtrack. Everything is designed to be both accessible and strategically challenging. Since launch, many content creators have taken on the challenge of completing the first stage in the fewest turns possible, encouraging creativity and community engagement.

A Personal Project with Creative Freedom

“Islets Defense is our first game as an independent studio, and it reflects who we are. It’s the result of everything we’ve learned from past projects, now expressed with full creative freedom. For us, this release is deeply personal. It’s our way of showing our vision for game design and our commitment to creating charming, accessible, polished, and fun games.”
, Matheus Cunegato

The First of Many

While Nuntius Games already has other titles available on Steam, Islets Defense is the publisher’s first full global launch. Nuntius Games plans to release several major indie games by the end of 2025.

“We’re incredibly proud to be part of this launch. It’s so rewarding to support such talented developers and see their work reach players around the world. Being involved in this journey has been an amazing experience. We’re excited to see players dive into everything Islets Defense has to offer. Congratulations to the team for this fantastic work.”
, Jonathan Silva, CEO of Nuntius Games
