Small bird. Serious firepower.
Play offline, wherever you roam
The installed game works without an internet connection. No account is needed, and progress saves on your device. Defend a clearing on your commute, away from coverage or whenever you want a quick game.
Become Super Kiwi and protect New Zealand's native bush from mice, rats, stoats and possums. Drag sideways to aim your eye lasers, dodge attacks and collect food before it disappears. Shooting is automatic, so you can focus on movement and choosing your next upgrade.
Two expeditions
Hold the line in Bush Defence, or follow the Horizon expedition as pests approach through mountain valleys and wetlands. Each expedition has its own stage progress, while earned seeds and permanent training carry across both. Unlock another landscape after every five stages cleared until all available habitats are open: three in Bush Defence and two in Horizon.
Choose your challenge
Select Normal or Hardcore for each unlocked stage or trail. Hardcore brings 20% more wave pests, 40% more boss mana, more frequent boss attacks and larger reinforcement packs. Food and power-up drops are 50% less likely, and kills award 25% less XP. Collected pickups retain full strength. Best scores are recorded separately; progression and training are shared between difficulties.
Build your lasers
Choose upgrades during each attempt, including split beams, piercing shots, chain sparks, burning hits and explosive finishes. Food can grow your level, speed your shots, slow pests or shield Kiwi. Discover five temporary laser transformations and keep your combo going for bonus seeds.
Call native allies
Charge Ancestors to summon spectral giant moa from stage 4. Activate Laser Strobe from stage 12 for a short burst of wider, faster fire. From stage 18, call Pouākai to sweep pests from the lower half of the clearing. A visiting Morepork can dive at a threat, intercept projectiles and retrieve a snack.
Use the bush
Choose routes with different risks and rewards. Shoot loose logs, reflective rocks and fern clumps, and rescue nests by clearing their tangled branches. Face three boss families with distinct attacks and second phases.
One-minute challenges
Try One-minute Rush, Nest Watch and A Steady Gaze. Survive 60 seconds with fixed starting strength, earn bronze, silver or gold medals, and unlock cosmetic laser colours. Challenges have no ad revives.
Grow between attempts
Spend earned seeds on permanent power, mana and forage training. Mana is Kiwi's health: contact and pests crossing the defence line drain it. Replay unlocked stages and explore new clearings as the expeditions continue.
Play in portrait with one-finger movement. Reduced motion and effects and left-handed ability controls are available in Settings. Saves are local to this device; cloud syncing is not included.
Advertising
When connected, ads may appear after expedition battles from stage or trail 4 onward. Optional rewarded ads are available from the beginning for one second chance per expedition attempt, restoring 30% mana. If no ad can be shown, you can choose Continue without ad for the same one-use revive. A displayed ad closed before earning its reward does not grant a revive. Ad availability requires an internet connection.
