Looks like it could be a kiddie Tower Defense (that's how I initially bypassed it), but is anything but.
Deserves a lot more attention as it will really stretch the grey matter with its clever mazing options and tower selection.
Has an Endless Mode on each on the 120 levels which would probably drag out too long if it wasn't for the numerous speedup options.
A very competent title!!

I love this game though it can be a bit frustrating on some of the levels. Although it looks cute its evil as anything, some of the levels are very hard but i'm still making my way through them all! Have been a few bugs along the way but the developer is quick to fix anything that is reported (normally the same day) which is great - and none have been game breaking. I love you can do levels or endless, but it is a game you need to set aside time for - some levels take 20-30 minutes (endless more) and you cannot save mid way through a level. If you love tower defense and challenges definitely give this a go.

A very fun game to play... albeit can be quite steep on the difficulty curve if you don't know what you're doing.
Definitely worth playing!

Early Access review:
Defend from Candyland is a tower defence game which is both addictive and frustrating.
The good news is that being early access means that the game is tweakable so I would still recommend it in its current state.
Not many bugs to report, only one I noticed was that occasionally when restarting the wave for the billionth time (you will die alot in the normal level mode) some candies can still be present on the map.
With regards to gameplay, It took me a while to learn about upgrading towers, its not overly clear although once you have worked it out the levels are fun although I do think that gummy bears are overpowered, especially with the fact they split into two pieces with full health after being initially defeated.
I'm up to level 10 at the moment but pretty sure I survived levels 8/9 by sheer luck.
Turrets, I would suggest the firerate/damage output is increased, or at the very least the points you gain for defeating candies should be increased so they can be upgraded more, often you don't earn enough points to build a defence against the gummy bears so are powerless to stop them from damaging your tree.
I would rework or introduce the tutorial that tells people what the turrets are, how to upgrade etc, this would be a big help as it's not overly clear to a new player.
Endless mode is alot of fun though, you seem to gather points alot faster so can upgrade all turrets and destroy everything before it can get anywhere near your base, managed up to level 124 on my first try but will keep playing to see what my new personal best will be.

Just because it has a candy theme doesn't mean Defend From Candyland! is for kids. This is a VERY challenging tower defense game. The developer's love and hard work shows from the start; the hi-res pixel art is so well done that the troops are distinguishable from each other, and the animations are smooth.
While there are a few things I'd personally like to see as a tower-defense novice (undo placement without having to sell the unit, a slower difficulty curve, less expensive upgrades), I really believe an experienced player of TD games will absolutely enjoy being challenged by this charming indie game.
Looking forward to seeing more from MI Pixel!
EDIT: I've played 30 hours, now, and I'm enjoying my introduction to tower defense (TD) gaming. A lot of fun building, adding to, and updating mazes ahead of the waves of candy. Days of gameplay, encouragement to challenge one's self to beat endless play high scores. I can put it down and pick it up, which is also nice.
A great purchase.

Like the old desktop tower defence but harder. Has a 7 level tutorial but even that isn't for the faint of heart. This is a game if you like a challenge. looking forward to trying out more of the game. Only thing that surprises me is that I gained 55% of achievements in under 5 hours, maybe a few harder ones would be a good add. Halloween pack music is infinitely better than the original the 1 p i paid for that alone was worth it. Will add another review when I have spent more time on it.

This is a great little Tower Defence Game that has been carefully thought out in terms of the story line. Artwork has improved since I last saw the game in the store and the music is also very fitting for the game. So far I'm enjoying the game as a great way to spend some time out of the daily grind.

Brutal TD game with an amusing art style to contrast and a really calming soundtrack... until you're on the edge of your seat trying to save your tree! Definitely worth checking out!

The upgrade tree has quite a bit, though it'll probably take a while to get everything. Gameplay is your typical tower defense fanfare. I'd say the game is appealing to people that like tower defense games, and it doesn't take much time to make that determination.
Placing your variety of towers is simple, there's a speed increase button, and the whole candy vs trees bit is cute. There's not a whole lot else for me to say to be honest. If you like Tower Defense titles, this is worth a go.
