Pastel Squad

Cute girls. Serious(ish) defense.

In a peaceful near-future city, an enemy horde appears out of nowhere and floods the streets!

Rookie temp recruit Vanilla suddenly finds herself fighting alone. A track star, a noble young lady, a construction part-timer, a girl who's always asleep... Gather a wildly mismatched crew, form your squad, and uncover who the enemy really is.

Real-time tactics driven by deployment and skills

• Spend Cost to deploy squad members, reposition them, and choose the perfect moment to use their skills

• Enemies attack in fixed waves. Figure out where to hold them and where to shoot from, and try again as many times as you like

• Capture enemy command posts to raise your squad size and Cost limits, but watch out for enemies trying to take them back

• Call in supply drops from the regular army (medical, ammo, smoke and air support) to get out of a tight spot

• Pause at any moment to give orders calmly

Make the terrain work for you

Fire down from high ground, hide in tall grass, build bridges across rivers, fortify your lines with barricades, and push enemies into fires and pits.

Each stage introduces new terrain and new enemies, along with new recruits who are just right for the job.

7 roles, 30+ squad members

Scouts, Heavy Infantry, Medics, Support, Artillery, Specialists and Armor.

From sturdy defenders who block the enemy's path to snipers who strike from afar, medics who keep everyone standing, and a tiny regular-army officer driving an actual tank, every member has her own traits and skills. Different combinations lead to very different strategies.

Three modes

• Main Story: A story told across 30+ stages. Some of them feature giant bosses...

• Missions: 20+ challenge stages with fixed squads, each themed around a different role

• Roguelite: Mop up the enemy's remnants after the main story. Recruit allies with draft tickets, pick relics, and push across branching maps. Your upgrades carry over even when a run fails

Get to know your squad

As you play, you'll unlock each member's personnel file (profile and illustrations) and a library of tactical notes.

Why did they enlist? To pay the bills, to eat lots of sweets, because the army food is good, because they love all things military... Meet the clumsy, cheerful and sometimes serious girls behind the uniforms.
