Islets Defense launches today, marking the first global release from Nuntius Games

The Brazilian studio MiniGoof, founded by former developers of Horizon Chase 2 and Fortnite, is officially launching their first original game today: Islets Defense, available now on Steam. Published by Nuntius Games, this is our very first worldwide release, with console and mobile versions (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 1 & 2, iOS, Android) coming soon.

A brand-new trailer also dropped today, showcasing the game’s core mechanics, creative features, and a few surprises you’ll discover while defending your castle from slime attacks.

A Unique Take on Tower Defense

“What we really want to highlight is the blend of tower defense with turn-based strategy. It adds a fresh pace and layer of planning to the genre, inviting even those who usually don’t connect with tower defense games.

Each stage is handcrafted (no RNG), and the strategic depth is balanced by approachable mechanics. Whether you want to casually build or deeply optimize your village, Islets Defense gives you space to play your way, all with the laid-back rhythm of a cozy board game.”
, Matheus Cunegato, Islets Defense game designer

With 30 total levels (15 normal + 15 Hardcore), global score progression, charming visuals, and original music, the game is designed to be both accessible and strategically satisfying.

Dozens of content creators are already jumping into challenge runs, competing to beat the first stage in as few turns as possible, sparking a wave of creative community engagement.

A Personal, Passion-Driven Project

“Islets Defense is our first release as an indie studio, and it carries a lot of who we are.

It reflects our past experience, but this time with full creative freedom. It’s a special release because it’s the first step in sharing our vision: making polished, original, accessible games that we’d want to play ourselves.”
