About the Game

Bright and cute! Pixel art shooting defense!

The hungry invaders are approaching one after another, wanting the important Baumkuchen Cake carried by the spaceship for themselves.
Defend and Shoot the invaders with your Minigun to protect the Baumkuchen!

Don't miss the rainbow-colored Baumkuchen!

If you keep defeating the invaders with your minigun, a mysterious Baumkuchen will appear, glowing in rainbow colors!
If you shoot and destroy it, you will gain exploding bullets, increase your crew, and more.

Baumkuchen are meant to be eaten...

The number of hungry invaders is unfathomable, and they keep attacking the Baumkuchen in waves one after another.
The further we progress, the more numerous and powerful they become, and the more Baumkuchen will eventually be consumed...

But! The crew that takes on the task to defeat the invaders will be scored, and their achievements in protecting the Baumkuchen will be remembered on our high score board!
