🐰 Tiny Warren: Carrot & Claw

A bite-sized, turn-based survival game

Tiny Warren: Carrot & Claw is a compact, turn-based survival game built in Godot 4.4 for the GameDev.tv Game Jam 2025. You play as a brave rabbit defending your warren from waves of foxes using only what nature provides: carrots, sticks, or your bare paws.

How It Works

Burrow of Tokens: Each burrow reveals four tokens. You choose three per wave.

Token Types:
🦊 Fox: Attacks
🥕 Carrot: Heals
🪵 Stick: Defends against foxes

Turn Flow:
1. Pick a token → resolve its effect
2. Repeat until three tokens are chosen
3. The unchosen token remains, and three new tokens appear

Run Option: You can run from a wave and revisit it later — but not two turns in a row.

Combat & Strategy

Stick Rules: Once you use a stick to defeat a fox, that stick becomes “bound” by that fox’s strength. From then on, it can only be used against weaker foxes.

Carrot Limits: Only one carrot heals you per wave — any extras are discarded.

Health & Game Over: You start with 20 ❤️. If your health drops to 0, it's game over. Clear the warren of all foxes to win!

Scoring

Victory: Final score = remaining health
Defeat: Final score = sum of all remaining foxes still in the warren

Inspiration

Tiny Warren: Carrot & Claw is inspired by the elegant mechanics of Scoundrel by Kurt Bieg and Zach Gage — a brilliant minimalist card-crawling game that laid the foundation for this adaptation.
