Lane Defense

How to play

1. Bop shoots by himself. Swipe left and right to change lane.
2. On a keyboard, use the left and right arrows, or A and D. P pauses.
3. Send the pests home before they cross the gold line. Each pest that gets past costs a heart.
4. Your count unlocks pickups, then gates. Walk into a pickup's lane to take it.

It keeps getting harder

You start with five hearts. Faster and tougher pests join as the run goes on, a big moon boss comes now and then, and every run ends sooner or later, so each one is a short game you can play again.

More mini games

The same window has Bop Match, where you swap neighbours to line up three or more, and Snack Catch, where you catch falling snacks and petals for sixty seconds, with a turn-based version too. Your song keeps playing while you play.
