WDC Charity Sale - Rush on and Save the Whales!

We are excited to announce that once again, we are supporting WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, for World Ocean Day!

The WDC World Ocean Day Sale starts today and runs until 12th June, 10am PDT 2025, and you can save a fin-tastic 30% off Kingdom Rush, Kingdom Rush Origins, Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance, Iron Marines, Iron Marines Invasion, and Legends of Kingdom Rush. We will donate 10% of our net profits to WDC to support their conservation work.*


[h2]Who is WDC?[/h2]
WDC, Whale and Dolphin conservation is the leading global charity dedicated to the protection and conservation of whales and dolphins.

Their expert-led teams in the UK, Europe, the Americas, and Australasia work across the whole spectrum of threats, from climate breakdown to accidental entanglements in fishing gear. They bring together, and work hand-in-hand with, businesses, philanthropists, scientists, NGOs, governments and grassroots communities to find solutions to the problems faced by whales and dolphins.
Their aim is to reverse the global decline in whale and dolphin populations by creating safe seas for these majestic creatures.

Entanglement in fishing gear, or ‘bycatch’ as it’s known, is the biggest threat whales and dolphins face. Many hundreds of thousands die in nets or get tangled up in fishing gear every year. As air-breathing mammals like us, when they get trapped in a net, panic can take over and they can sustain terrible injuries before either escaping, or suffocating. It is a massive problem and so WDC are working on some innovative solutions. 


[h2]What WDC has been doing so far
[/h2]Working across the globe to protect whales, dolphins and porpoises from dying in fishing gear:
  • They’re collaborating with creel fishers in Scotland to trial new types of fishing gear to reduce entanglements of humpback and minke whales.
  • They’re working with colleagues and partner organisations in the Central Baltic Sea to develop a recovery plan for a critically endangered group of Baltic harbour porpoises.
  • On the west coast of the United States, critically endangered North Atlantic right whales are facing extinction. Entanglement is a massive threat to their survival, and WDC have been working with fishers to trial alternative gear types.
  • In Hong Kong WDC have been supporting local community efforts and working with fishers to save the remaining 200 Indo-Pacific finless porpoises from extinction due to bycatch.
  • These projects are saving lives, and they are powered by inspiring people working together for the ocean.


[h2]How your support will help this year
[/h2]By purchasing games from this year’s World Ocean Day sale, you will help WDC continue these vital conservation projects across the globe, as well as enable WDC’s team to embark on new efforts to bring further protections for whales and dolphins, like the Sri Lankan gillnet fisheries project:
  • Sri Lanka is home to many species of whales, dolphins and porpoises as well as a myriad of other sensitive marine species like sea turtles that are vulnerable to entanglement in gillnets – these are nets that hang in the water like a wall. With funding, WDC hopes to collaborate with Sri Lankan artisanal tuna fisheries that use gillnets to trial new gear types and reduce the impact their fishing has on marine life, while still enabling them to earn their living.


Whales and dolphins are awe-inspiring. They are intelligent beings, vital for the health of the ocean and planet. Together we can still help them recover and flourish and they can help us reconnect with the wild, and repair the damage we have caused.

A New Hero Joins the Alliance – Meet Spydyr!


Hello General!

Tomorrow’s the day we march against the Spider Queen and her cult. But don't squash every spider on sight just yet! Some are friendly, so put those flip flops down. Spydyr, a deadly huntress duo skilled in shadow magic, is now a part of the Alliance. Let's hear about their mission!

Sheepy: “Welcome to the Alliance! Um… who of you two is Spydyr?”

Spydyr: “We've been hunting together so long, we've lost track of whose mind is whose. Perhaps the shadows changed both of us. Or perhaps, we were always meant to be Spydyr.”

Sheepy: “Intriguing. Did your abilities combine as well?”

Spydyr: “We are shadow and silk, sorcery and web. Our Twilight Elf sight pierces the dark, catches every whisper, and makes shadow powers bend to its call. And our spider form feels the tremors of the unseen, spin its webs, and move swiftly as the wind… Together we miss nothing, no prey can escape us.”

Sheepy: “Phew, so glad you’re on our side, then… why did you join our team?”

Spydyr: “Whispers of the cult’s return reached the Twilight Elf Council, and so an elite team of huntresses was assembled to annihilate the Spider Queen and her followers. But as we neared the bloodsydian caves, we got ambushed. We alone emerged from the carnage. Yet our hunt remains. To finish what was begun, we now walk beside the Alliance.”

Sheepy: “So you know our enemy? What can you tell us about this so-called queen?”

Spydyr: “We have only faced their pawns. Fanatics lost to their worship, devotion twisting their flesh and mind. And the spiders… they are countless, an endless tide that swallows the horizon. Tell us, little sheep, do eight legs unsettle you?”

Gulp…looks like we’re in for a nightmarish encounter with the spider queen and her brood. Luckily, we have a nightmare of our own. We can only hope that with Spydyr, with their sorcery and merciless precision, they will ensure the Spider Queen web is torn apart for good.

Sheepy out!
