You mighta heard me talk abt it, seen me draw a few things and whatnot- but you probably don't know what it is!
So what is it? Tiny Defense is a mobile game series consisting of two games. (I personally haven't played Tiny Defense 2 and I probably won't unless I change my mind somehow, so I'll be talking abt TD1.) Tiny Defense 1 is a pvz-style 2D lane gameplay kind of game.
[Image ID: An image of a screen. The bottom is lined with card slots, each containing different types of bots. There are varying layers of hilly terrain, appearing as tiles on an implied grid. On the left are multiple robots named Machines, both flying and ground units. On the right are multiple robots named Minirobots, each of them occupying one tile of the screen's implied grid. Bullets are being shot from the Minirobots and some are generating green crysals. A banner displays across the top saying "Collect Crystals and Build Up Defense."]
The picture above is an example of one of the first levels in the game. There are multiple worlds, each with unique terrain and challenges. The gameplay consists of using each unique bot and strategizing how to effectively utilize each of their abilites to defend the right side from the oncoming Machines. With every few levels new Machines are introduced, and after most levels you gain a new type of Minirobot.
What's the story? So, in a rudidmentary way of saying, Tiny Defense 1 is about anti-pollution, anti-capitalism, anti-deforestation etc etc. The story is split into 3 different episodes, each with different problems. (I will expand on episodes 2 and 3 once I get to them. I have only finished episosde 1 so far.)
Episode 1: Mini-Adventure
The Minirobots are a peaceful species residing on their home: Green Planet. When suddenly the Machines invade under the direction of Star Travel Inc, a "mega-rich travel company." Star Travel Inc plans to turn Green Planet into a vacation resort by stripping it of its natural resources and then building it back up. As the game says: "Their mission is to find beautiful planets that provide a suitable place to build space resorts for wealthy tourists."

On the left are Machines- Cyclers, Air Scouts, and the mace of a Smasher -in different colors advancing towards the right. Minirobots lie on the right: several Soldier Bots, Blocker Bots, and a Copter Bot. The caption reads: "The Minirobots are peace-loving creatures. They are not ready for a swift and violent attack from the Machines."]
The Machines invade and soon overpower the Minirobots, locking them away in capsules and destroying everything in their path. The actions of the Machines, drilling, deforestation, and stripping the land of its recources cause drastic changes in the biosphere of Green Planet. New areas are created or altered: Waste Sands, South Ocean, Glacier Lands, and the base of the Machines, Iron Fortress.
As the game goes on, you and the Minirobots you are commanding defend themselves from the advances of the Machines. Moving from stage to stage, one area to the next, drawn by distress signals of surviving Minirobots and gathering your forces.
