No Tithe for Olaf

Take up arms (and turnips) in this grimly humorous tower defense roguelite set in 17th-century Norway!

Play as a decrepit old farmer who’s had enough of the King’s greedy taxmen. When royal bailiffs seize your pickled turnips and prized aged lamb legs, your cup runneth over! Rally the valley’s farmers into open rebellion and ride your semi-trusty goat into battle. Defend your farm in action-packed missions where tower-building, resource management, and goat-based combat collide.

Build bizarre towers. Fight off the taxman. Lead the farmer’s revolt... and don’t forget to tend the farm!

Protect the Winter Stores - Tower Defense

Each fall after harvest, the King launches a new taxation campaign into the Valley. One farm after another will surrender their savings to the royal coffers unless you rally the rebels!

Defend your kinsfolk. Build towers to intoxicate, humiliate, soil, or escort the King’s agents off your land through civil debate sheer force. Stop enemies from escaping with your food stores, or winter will be long, cold, and hungry!

Goat-Riding Rebel - Third person action

Charge your enemies with reckless goat-knocks, pelt them with vegetables, and lure them into traps. Nothing is off-limits! If you lose the pickled turnips, your cousins lose their farm.

Fuel the Fight - Resource Management

Harvest crops and upgrade your farm between waves to fund your defenses. Slack on production or skimp on towers, and the King’s bailiffs will scarper with your finest meats and cheese!

Farmer’s Wit - Persistent Upgrades

With each successful defense, unlock depraved new tools to escalate your guerrilla tactics. From weaponized manure and ballistic onions to scathing words and anti-authoritarian sass, your uprising only grows weirder (and deadlier). Most unholy of all: goats!

Rebel Again and Again - Procedural and replayable

Each farm you save swells the ranks of the rebellion. Can you push back the King’s goons for good? Or will the valley fall, one homestead at a time? Procedurally generated farms and modifiers ensure that no rebellion plays the same twice.

Action meets resource management in this rabid satire of taxation, turnips, and 17th-century rural warfare.
