Arcade shooter Candy Patrol: Lollipop Defense brings some sugar to mobile

After doing the rounds in soft launch in the Philippines and Malaysia, arcade shooter Candy Patrol: Lollipop Defense has brought its sugary goodness to mobile devices worldwide.

As its subtitle suggests, Candy Patrol is a defence-based blast-em-up in which it’s your job to save the world’s lollipop population from an army of sweet-toothed monsters. You’re part of an elite squad tasked with protecting the candy supply, and a supersonic slingshot and an array of high-tech gadgets even James Bond would be jealous of are the tools of your trade.

Players will take part in rescue missions and epic boss battles, level up their character and record details of the creatures they encounter in their ‘Monsteropedia’ along the way.

Candy Patrol will take you on a journey across space and time, to weird and wonderful worlds brought to life by delicious 3D visuals.

The core shooter gameplay is bolstered by social and online features, so you can monitor your friends’ progress, compete with them or request their help for co-op missions.

Candy Patrol: Lollipop Defense is the latest title to come out of Polish studio Orbital Knight, the developer behind Slashy Knight and the Kickerinho series, and it’s available through Google Play and the App Store now.
