Gnome Guard puts you in charge of a veggie patch under attack from cartoon bugs. Tap a glowing pad to drop a garden hero, then watch them bonk beetles, wasps and snails before they reach your vegetables. Each act ends with a boss bug, so your team needs to be ready.
You can summon heroes from a magic flowerpot, spend coins on upgrades, and send heroes off on trips to bring back gems. With five gardens to save and an endless wave mode for extra challenge, Gnome Guard online gives you plenty to plan around.
It is free to play, needs no download, and works right in your browser on phone, tablet or computer.
