About

Yarn Guardians is a 2D action-adventure that combines elements of shoot'em up games and the open level structure of Metroidvania games with twin-stick shooter controls.

Help Rudy and his friends to restore the balance in a fragmented world:

Rudy's peaceful life changes abruptly when his home is wrecked by carrot wielding bunnies. He embarks on a journey unaware that he is following in the footsteps of the legendary Yarn Guardians. On his path, the adventurous cat encounters power-hungry villains, shady characters and new friends.
