Keep the oak alive

You play as Gobby the tree goblin. You are endowed with the position of the almighty Oak Defender. You must protect the mighty enchanted oak from the surrounding forest creatures. You must keep the tree alive or it will die and the forest will become corrupted.

You will use helpful plants at your side and feed the mighty Oak plenty of sunshine and water to keep it growing big, strong, and mighty.



They’re coming, you must prepare!
