  • Check out Litany, our new game! - 30 March 2026

    If you've played Islets Defense, you've felt all the love and care that MiniGoof puts into it, so don't forget to check out the page and wishlist our new game, Litany.Litany, a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder that subverts the idea of "perfect balance." Instead of nerfing powerful builds, we challenge players to find loopholes and create combos so massive they literally "break" the game. What makes Litany's gameplay stand out Chaos & Reward: Feel the satisfaction of watching the system spiral out of control with decks that scale exponentially. With hundreds of cards and shop upgrades, every run offers fresh tools to create chain reactions so powerful that uncontrolled chaos becomes your path to victory. Dynamic Boards: Take command of 6 distinct characters, each with unique mechanics, synergies, and playstyles. The battlefield is alive: use strategic positioning and row and column muโ€ฆ

  • Controller Support is HERE! ๐ŸŽฎ (+ Steam Trading Cards) - 18 September 2025

    Hello Slime Destroyers!Remember when we said controller support would be out in early August? Yeah, about that. Turns out adapting an entire game to work properly with a gamepad was no small feat. ๐Ÿ˜… But the wait is over, weโ€™re thrilled to announce full controller support! Weโ€™ve been playing with controllers ourselves, and honestly, we love it. We think you will too. This update also brings Steam Trading Cards! Along with them, youโ€™ll find profile backgrounds, emotes, and other cool collectibles. And finally, here are some extra tweaks and fixes not specifically related to controller support:โš–๏ธ BALANCEHardcore 4-2: Slightly easier now.

  • Update on Steamdeck and Controller Support - 30 June 2025

    Hello Islet Defenders! ๐Ÿ๏ธWe hope you're all having a wonderful day, protecting the kingdom and holding the castle!We wanted to share that weโ€™re currently working on making Islets Defense run smoothly on the Steam Deck, and alongside that, we're adding full controller support! ๐ŸŽฎNow, while this might sound like a simple task, itโ€™s actually a bit tricky. Our game has a lot of mouse interactions that donโ€™t easily translate to a controller, like hovering over currencies to read their descriptions, or placing buildings on a big grid. And since weโ€™re just a team of three, we want to take our time and do it right, instead of dropping in a clunky โ€œvirtual mouseโ€ solution.Now that the big round of launch bugfixes is behind us, weโ€™ll be shifting full focus to this task. Our current goal is to wrap it up by late July or early August, but weโ€™ll keep you posted if that changes!Thatโ€™s it for this shโ€ฆ

  • Patch v1.1.0 โ€“ Balance, QoL, and Bug Fixes - 26 June 2025

    What's up, Defenders! Today we are releasing version 1.1.0 of Islets Defense. Below you can check everything that was changed on this update:โš–๏ธ BALANCE(Hardcore 1-1): Slightly easier now. While the stage was aligned with our expectations for Hardcore mode, its solution felt too narrow, with very few viable paths. We've tweaked it to reduce early frustration and better match the difficulty curve of other Forest stages.(Sea Stages): Overall a bit easier. When gathering food using a Fishing Market, tiles with fish now yield +5 food instead of +3. While not all players noticed this bonus, fish tend to appear where players naturally place markets โ€” so this change should make food management smoother. We also adjusted some fish spawn points in stage 3-1 to make them more accessible.(Regular and Hardcore 3-3): These stages are now easier. They were a bit too challenging compared to the rest ofโ€ฆ

Short description

Islets Defense is a turn-based tower defense game in which you build a small village to gather resources and defend your castle. Carefully plan your actions, as each move brings the enemy waves closer! Strategize building placements and play your cards wisely, as timing and order are key.

About this game

Islets Defense is a turn-based tower defense game focused on resource management in which you build a small and efficient village to support your towers and secure victory. A turn consists of executing one of the four available actions, each with its own unique functionality. The order of the cards plays a key role, with the rightmost card offering a stronger effect. After completing your turn, the chosen card moves to the leftmost position, pushing the others one step forward. Consistent and efficient use of all four cards is key to building a solid defense. Allocate your towers in strategic positions, sustain them with food, upgrade them with wood and stone, and ensure a strong defense against the slimes. Chests and stage modifiers will offer new strategic opportunities, with unique towers and various upgrades to explore. Each building has different upgrade options for you to choose from. Build the most efficient village by making smart decisions that synergize with your positioning strategy! The mist has covered your entire kingdom! You start the game with an unexplored map, ready to be revealed! Use the exploration action to reach new resources, gain visibility for your attack towers, and discover hidden treasures! Advance through stages, complete challenges, and earn diamonds and feathers to unlock and face different biomes! Islets Defense is the game for those looking for a classic tower defense experience mixed with the chilling vibes of a resource management game, all wrapped up in easy-to-understand mechanics filled with creative possibilities. โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž 25+ different building structures, each with their own unique abilities.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $6.99
  • Highest observed: $6.99

Islets Defense's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $6.99, the highest is $6.99, and the first visible tracked price is $6.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -30%
  • Latest sale window: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -30%, with a lowest recorded final price of $6.99 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Sep 22, 2026 and ends Sep 22, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. The latest run records $6.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $9.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $6.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Islets Defense at $6.99 in USD, with a listed base price of $9.99 and a -30% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
