Guard the Carrot
A downloadable game for Windows
Guard the Carrot (3rd place winner of Spring 2025 Florida Poly Game Expo)!
You and some other rabbits recently graduated from The Institute of Magical Bunny Arts, only to be met with the worst job market in your lifetime. But there's still hope! A wealthy bunny family has hired you and a few other guards to protect their heirloom: a carrot. It seems like a normal carrot, so who'd ever want to steal it...?
Patrol the castle and use your magical spells you learned from school to defeat any intruders! Certain spell types are more effective on specific enemies, so keep note of which spells work best. There’s one large, clever enemy, a scary groundhog, that’s said to be tougher to deal with… She’s known to break the magical orbs that act as power sources. The power sources keep a magical barrier up, which protects the carrot from being stolen. If all the orbs are removed from their rooms, the carrot will be left unprotected! Make sure to keep the orbs in their rooms and stay alive!

Install instructions
Download and unzip the GTC_windows folder. There should be a .exe file; double-click that to open the game. If the game is being hosted over the internet, click the "Play Online" button on the main menu, then create or join a room and play.
If you are playing over LAN (must have a wired connection), hit the LAN button on the main menu and start a server. Then, others should be able to join as clients when connecting to the server's IP. You can also play by yourself if you start a server on your own machine, and start 2 clients on the same one and disconnect one client.
