Noodle Squad Defense
Turn the path. Rally the squad. Save the pies.
A storybook tower defense where you rotate switch tiles to send the Muddles the long way round, right past ten heroes from the Noodle games.
Turn a switch, change the road
Switch tiles sit where paths fork. Tap one to turn it, and every Muddle behind it follows the new road.
The short road runs straight to your pies. The long road winds past your squad and gives them time to work. Turn switches for free between waves. During a wave, each switch needs five seconds to cool down before it turns again.
Try it: tap the switch tile, or the button.
Short road: the Muddles walk straight to the pies.Long road: now they march right past Quill and Rivet.
Meet the squad
Pip the hedgehog captain leads ten heroes who came over from our other Noodle games. Pick up to six of them for each level, upgrade them three times, then choose one of two paths for their final tier.
