About the Game

Pelikeeper is a cozy tower-defense and base building strategy game where you play as the last pelican trying to bring light back to a world swallowed by shadow. Rescue animal neighbors, build a thriving settlement around your lighthouse, and work together to defend fallen stars from waves of encroaching darkness. 

Fly to pockets of light across a fog-covered world and protect the crash-landed stars from shadow creatures! 

  • Select your animal companion loadout 

  • Deploy animal towers, each with distinct abilities and upgrade paths 

  • Utilize your pelican’s abilities to strengthen towers and help defend

  • Hold the line through escalating waves of shadow creatures

  • Earn Trust to strengthen animal relationships

Your success comes from choosing your animal loadout and crafting clever defensive upgrade strategies.

Between battles, fly home to your lighthouse and transform an old abandoned settlement into a warm, living town. 

  • Build new projects, decorations, and upgrades

  • Check-in with your animal neighbors to build up Trust & make the community, and in turn your defenses, stronger

  • Discover the stories and personalities of each animal

As your community grows, and you start working together, so does the power of your towers!

The crash-landed stars you defend are used to rebuild constellations which return light to the world.

  • Unlock new regions to explore

  • Meet new animals with new towers and abilities

  • Expand your strategic defensive options

Turn a ruined settlement into a beacon of hope strong enough to lift the shadow fog from the world. 

  • A strategic tower-defense game mixed with relaxing base-building

  • A customizable lighthouse town full of charming animals

  • Over a dozen towers with unique abilities and upgrade paths

  • Tower Symbiosis system that unlocks powerful community-driven buffs

  • Multiple regions each containing multiple handcrafted levels and unique bosses
