Unfortunately our latest build carried over another bug, we've reverted to the previous build for now. Let us know if the goblins running into the void continues!

Sup Gnomies,

Just a quick hotfix in response to some feedback:
- Set SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 to prevent rare flickering bug

We recently have made a major change to the back end of our custom engine in order to support more systems. While it generally seems to that more players are able to play the game without issue, there are some rare cases where it's caused different problems for a small number of people..

clever little tower defense game released earlier this month, and the demo, at least, is damn good. In Gnomes, you're put in charge of a little horde of angry bearded dudes in red hats who must build their beautiful little garden and then defend it from a goblin invasion. They are surprisingly vicious...

Hey Gnomies,

We just hit Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam with a 98% rating — and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a review, share feedback, report issues, or simply spread the word. Every bit of support has made a difference, and we’re so grateful for the community that’s formed around the game.

Reaching Overwhelmingly Positive has always a dream of ours but it's something we didn't even consider possible with a little game, made from scratch on a $0 budget.

You have our most sincere gratitude


We wanted to take the opportunity to do some shout outs!

BoneHairReptile, Rübezahl and Craig for helping out all the new Gnomies and keeping the Discord server safe as well as everyone else who keeps the community pumping and brings the good vibes!

On a more serious note! We still haven't "fixed bad", we're currently working on a major back end update that should solve a bunch of the technical issues and improve compatibility in across different systems. We've also made some further QoL improvements and plan to sneak in a few extra relics for you. We're hoping to get this live in the next couple of days stay tuned, we've still in playtesting for this one.

We have also began to lay the foundations that will allow us to translate the game into different languages. Despite currently being available in English, we've collect a bunch of Gnomies from Germany, Poland, South Korea, China, Japan and all over the world. We can't wait to make the game more accessible for our Gnomies all over the world.

Thanks again and stay tuned!
Tommy and Patrick
