Countryball Defenders

Countryball Defenders is a free countryball game: a tower defense starring countryballs, the round, flag-painted cartoon countries of Polandball comics. Balls from all over the world hop down your lawn to get past your wall. Your squad of countryballs bonks them back.

It plays in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Battles are short, calm to look at and very silly. All 205 countries on the tour have their own stage, with their own scene, locals, champion, jokes and music in their country’s style.

How to play

1. Pick ur deck. Five balls go to battle. Poland, the UK and Brazil are ready on day one.
2. Level up in battle. Ur balls attack on their own. Every level-up shows three cards: a new ball for the wall, a stronger ball, a new skill or a wall repair.
3. Bonk the champion. Every stage ends with a boss. Punt it INTO SPACE.

Your crew tours the whole world with a portable wall, one country per stage. Every stage has its own scene (salt pans in Malta, a running track in Kenya, rice paddies in Vietnam, snow and ice up north), its own locals with their own trick, and its own music in its country’s style: one tune for the locals, one for the champion, and two more for Hell. Win, and that country’s ball joins your squad, close to your squad’s level, so it can play at once. Your passport gets a stamp.

1. 1 Small Beginnings

   “Small countries. Big attitude.”

   

   Stages 1–25: Monaco to Mexico, in 5 legs. The tour begins! Small balls first.

2. 2 Sun, Sea and Shields

   “They brought shields. And sunscreen.”

   

   Stages 26–50: Malta to Thailand, in 5 legs. New: shields! The first hit just bounces off.

3. 3 Run, Ball, Run

   “Everyone here is in a hurry.”

   

   Stages 51–75: Guyana to Poland, in 5 legs. New: sprinters! They dash. Watch ur wall.

4. 4 Things Are Thrown

   “Some stop. Some throw. All rude.”

   

   Stages 76–100: Northern Cyprus to Greece, in 5 legs. New: throwers! They stop short and throw at ur wall.

5. 5 Under and Over

   “They dive. They dig. They pop up.”

   

   Stages 101–125: Western Sahara to Ukraine, in 5 legs. Some locals dive and dig now. Bonk them when they pop up.

6. 6 Doctors Everywhere

   “They brought doctors. Of course.”

   

   Stages 126–150: Lesotho to Serbia, in 5 legs. New: medics! They heal friends. Bonk them first.

7. 7 The Drums Are Coming

   “BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Faster.”

   

   Stages 151–175: Chad to Georgia, in 5 legs. New: drummers! Friends near them walk faster.

8. 8 All at Once

   “Everything. All of it. At ur wall.”

   

   Stages 176–200: the Gambia to Australia, in 5 legs. Everything, all at once.

9. ! The Grand Finale

   “The biggest balls on Earth. And one more.”

   

   Stages 201–205: Russia, India, China, the USA… and a twist.

Every leg of five countries is one chapter of the map, with three star chests to open. Some stages add a twist, like Tiny Swarm, Espresso Rush or Catapult Club, so no two battles feel the same. See every stop on the balls page.

The last wave of every stage brings the country’s champion: bigger, angrier and wearing a very serious hat. It throws its country’s weapon at your wall (Poland’s champion fires rockets, the UK’s throws tea), and it knows at least two tricks. Champions call helpers, heal with a tea break, hide in tall grass, flip a coin to become untouchable, lay eggs that hatch, stick a fizzing bomb on your wall or lasso a ball right off it. The big ones switch tricks and attacks halfway through, just when you thought you had them figured out.

Bonk a champion and it flies INTO SPACE, its army runs home, and its country’s ball joins your squad. Every leg ends with a bigger champion. The grand finale brings Russia, India, China and the USA, and stage 205 has a twist: the last champion is someone you know very well. It has been sitting on a bench with popcorn the whole time. The Moon is less happy about all this.

Meet all 205 balls and their champions, hats and tricks included, on the balls page.

Every ball has its own weapon and three skills: its attack, a twist that adds a trick of its own, and an ultimate that fires on its own timer. Malta throws a hot pastizz that bursts into flaky shards, then fires the Noon Gun. Andorra opens a duty-free SALE stall, and the locals stop to shop. Spain starts La Tomatina, and at 3 pm a SIESTA stops the whole lawn.

Poland, the UK and Brazil start in your squad; every other ball joins when you beat its country, or comes early from the Summit. Cards and coins level a ball up to Lv 20: its twist opens at Lv 10 and its ultimate at Lv 15.

See every ball’s weapon and skills

The first page plays the moment you open the game: a lonely Moon, a golden invitation, and you, picking your country. Then the comic keeps going, one chapter at a time, as you win stars.

• A lonely Moon. Nobody ever visits it. Then you start bonking champions into space, and it has feelings about that.
• A missing Golden Ball. The prize of the whole tour vanishes in a blackout, and little wheels squeak away into the dark.
• Switzerland’s secret. The neutral guide sleeps through every stakeout. Very neutral. Very suspicious.

Each new chapter pays a few gems the first time you read it.

Bored of Earth? Go bonk the rest of the solar system. The Solar Trial is a daily endless mode: the waves never stop, they only get tougher, so the only question is how far ur deck can go. Each day brings the next of nine worlds, with its own locals and its own boss.

• The Sun. King Sol glows bright, then dim. Save ur big hits for the dim.
• Mercury. Speedy Hermes skips time, and his whole army jumps ahead. Stun him to stop the clock.
• Venus. Lady Sulfur has a sweet smile and a sour acid rain. Don’t fix ur wall while it pours.
• Earth. Mama Nature brought her Moon as a bodyguard. It swings in front and blocks ur shots.
• Mars. General Red hides his army in a dust storm. U only see the ones close to ur wall.
• Jupiter. Big Jove opens his Great Red Spot and drags every ball into one lane. Blast them!
• Saturn. The Ringmaster spins his rings, and ur shots bounce right back. Shoot between the spins.
• Uranus. Sir Tilt lies on his side and tips ur whole lawn over.
• Neptune. Grandpa Gale is old, windy and very loud about it. His gale pushes his balls in faster.

Ur best run goes on the day’s ranking. The next day everyone who cleared a wave gets a prize of gems, wild cards and coins, and the top three get the biggest ones. Wall about to fall? U can revive with up to 3 rolls of duct tape per run.

The Solar Trial opens after Normal stage 13.

Like a world summit, but with more summoning. Call balls to your squad before you reach their country.

The big chase: six Mythic balls, the rarest and strongest of all. Germany, Japan, Russia, India, China and the USA. Good luck. Switzerland is neutral about it.

• A free 10x summon to welcome you.
• A free summon every day.
• A legendary ball within 50 summons. Always.
• A mythic ball within 180 summons. Also always.
• The Summit always shows how many summons are left until ur next Legendary and ur next Mythic.
• Got that ball already? It turns into 7 wild cards that level any ball.

Odds per summon: Common 57%, Rare 29%, Epic 10.5%, Legendary 3%, Mythic 0.5%. From the 40th summon without a Legendary, the odds of one climb with every summon. Every 10x summon has at least one Epic or better. New looks (skin pulls): Common 60%, Rare 27%, Epic 10%, Legendary 2.5%, Mythic 0.5%, with a Legendary or better within 40 pulls and an Epic or better in every 10x. The Summit opens after stage 5.

Balls are plain by default. Every look is a skin, and skins are looks only: they never change a ball’s stats. Get a look once and any ball can wear it, and Wear on all dresses ur whole squad in one tap. Many balls also have their own legendary look, like Poland’s Sky Ace or the USA’s Cowboy, and the rare Mythic looks even change how a ball’s weapon looks.

And it’s not just balls. Ur wall can dress up (Garden Hedge, Pillow Fort, Crystal Palace, Lava Lair, Cloud Castle and more), ur balls can stand on a Hay Bale or a Magic Carpet, and there are backdrops, chat styles, headers and tab bars too. Every look has its own name, and the Mythic walls, stands and backdrops even move.

Every look u own adds looks points, and fancier looks add more. The Looks board shows the best-dressed players in the world.

Every 30 days a new Bonk Pass season begins. Battles, quests and the daily gift give pass XP, and XP opens prizes on two tracks: FREE for everyone, and GOLD with the optional Gold Pass. Each season has a look you can’t get anywhere else; the first season, Can Into Space, brings a Rocket Pack. The very last GOLD prize is India, a Mythic ball. Nothing you earn is ever lost: unclaimed prizes wait for you, even after a season ends.

• A gift every day. A 7-day calendar (day 7: Canada joins) and a 30-day tour with South Korea on day 14 and Nepal on day 30. Missed a day? The gift just waits.
• A welcome letter. Ur mailbox starts with a gift: 100 gems and 500 coins, with a hug from everyone at the wall.
• Daily quests. Three a day; finish all three for a bonus.
• The Swiss Vault. Switzerland keeps coins for you while you are away. Very neutral.
• Sweeps. Replay any 3-star stage instantly, 10 times a day.
