Garfield's Defense is a 2-D mobile game made by Web Prancer available for iOS and Android. There are 60 levels in total. Each level has a fixed amount of aliens (portrayed as meatballs that can act on their own) that the player needs to kill using Garfield and friends that they summon using a currency called popcorn. The player can upgrade their friends and defenses so that they become more resilient to the aliens. Once all the aliens are defeated, the level is beaten. If the aliens get to the player's base and destroy it, or knock out Garfield, the level is lost.
Summary[]
The battlefield is a 2-dimensional layout of Garfield's house. Each level sends out aliens in a chronologically arranged order. The aliens start at the rightmost area and march left until they run into Garfield or any friends. In that case, they will stop and fight until they lose their own health or until all the friends are defeated. Once the aliens get to the player's base (located at the leftmost area of the field), they will attack it until it is destroyed, ending the level in their favor regardless of how many aliens were defeated. Every once in a while, the player can use special skills to help themselves out. Most skills deal damage to the aliens, but some benefit the player in different ways. As the level gets higher, tougher aliens are introduced, and the player needs to have higher upgraded materials.
This game offers In-App-Purchases for extra cookies.
Friends[]
Friends are the main defenses that the player summons. They hold off and fight aliens so they cannot get to the player's base. Upgrading them boosts their attack and health.
Sheldon (5 popcorn)[]
A cheap friend with a generally low attack and health. He becomes inneffectivie as levels gets higher and higher. He attacks by bashing into enemies. In Halloween Mode, Sheldon has a monster mask covering his egg shell.
Nermal (10 popcorn)[]
Nermal has very high health compared to other friends that beginners use. He is later replaced by Odie and Orson. He attacks with a ball of yarn. In Halloween Mode, he is dressed as a fairy.
Wade (15 popcorn)[]
Having low health but the highest attack out of all friends cheaper than 30 popcorn, Wade can deal huge damage when used in large amounts. Due to his low health and range, he is not used. He attacks with a broomstick. In Halloween Mode, Wade is dressed as a Jack-O-Lantern.
Booker (10 popcorn)[]
The main reason why Booker is a must for the early levels is that even though he has average attack, he can attack from a distance by throwing baseballs. In very large groups, Booker can defeat high health aliens in a matter of seconds without having a finger on them. He should be behind other friends so that the aliens cannot get too close to him. Piling up Bookers in the back and shileding with Orson is the most common stratagy. In Halloween mode, he is dressed as a red devil.
Odie (30 popcorn)[]
Odie outranks Nermal in health and can soak up amazing damage from low level aliens. Heavily upgraded, he can withstand aliens in higher levels too. He is used (for beginners) as a meat shield, protecting other friends that have lower health. Again, it is recommended that he does not work by himself, because his attack is quite low. He can back up Orson when piled up. He attacks with his tongue. In Halloween Mode, he is dressed as a mummy.
Arlene (40 popcorn)[]
Arlene does not attack, but instead can heal Garfield or friends constantly to keep them in battle longer. When used correctly, she can completely change the outcome of the battle. She heals others from a distance, similar to how Booker acts. In Halloween Mode, Arlene is dressed in purple rags.
NOTE: There can only be one Arlene in the battlefield at any time.
Orson (55 popcorn)[]
Orson is mandatory. High level players must use him. He has the highest health in the game, and when maxed out, he beats a maxed Odie by around 17000 health. Not only that, he has a relatively high attack and is a match for all aliens (with some friends at his side). He attacks with a baseball bat. In Halloween Mode, Orson is dressed as a pirate (based off of Garfield's pirate costume from Garfield's Halloween Adventure) and attacks with a wooden sword.
NOTE: There can only be one Orson in the battlefield at any time.
NOTE: When Orson Spawns, 2 Bookers spawn with him.
Roy (45 popcorn)[]
Roy is a must-have for anyone cause high level requires a high damage. A tougher version of Wade. He has the highest attack in the game, and acceptable health. His exceptional attack can be hard to tell when he is not upgraded yet, but once he is, he has around 1500 attack. Pair a bunch of Roys up, use a meat shield, and nothing will be able to compete with them. The only control needed with him is that he can die quickly due to his health, and he can be attacked even though he is behind the meat shields. He attacks by hitting enemies with roller skates. In Halloween Mode, Roy is dressed as a first mate (based off of Odie's pirate costume from Garfield's Halloween Adventure).
NOTE: For those who want to use the Roy/meat shield strategy, Roy is faster than the others and will most likely get to the enemy before the meat shield.
Dino Odie (65 popcorn)[]
Dino Odie is like a cross between Orson and Roy. He has above-average health and above-average attack. Because of this, Dino Odie is one of few friends that can be effective when they are all by themselves. Similar to Odie, he attacks with his tongue. In Halloween Mode, he is dressed as the Frankenstein Monster.
NOTE: Just like Roy, Dino Odie is faster than the others.
NOTE: There can only be one Dino Odie in the battlefield at any time.
Aliens[]
There is a great variety of aliens, but most function pretty similarly. (Note: these are not their official names). In Halloween Mode, they resemble zombies.
NOTE : Ranged projectile shooters's attacks sometimes pass behind any Orsons or Odies, so they can attack Roys or sometimes even Bookers, making them a pain.

He can withstand a full hit from a maxed out Jon while still leaving ~10000 health, can take out a Maxed out Orson in 15 shots and take out a Maxed out Garfield in 2 Shots.
