About The Last Guardian
The Last Guardian is a small 2D space shooter about defending what's left of your people. A powerful civilization has wiped out your home planet, and the survivors are counting on you to hold off the enemies coming to finish the job.
It plays like a survival game with a base to protect. You move with WASD, shoot with J, and try to keep your base standing for as long as you can. The main menu also has a shop next to the controls and credits screens.
This is an early build, version 0.1.5, so expect a compact game rather than a long campaign. You can play The Last Guardian online right here, and try The Last Guardian free in a desktop browser.
How to Play The Last Guardian
- Click Start on the main menu.
- Move with WASD.
- Press J to shoot.
- Keep enemies away from your base by shooting them down before they reach it.
- Check the Shop on the main menu between runs.
What to Expect in The Last Guardian
Expect a straightforward arcade shooter set against a deep purple starfield. The story is short and sets the stakes: your planet is gone, and you're the only thing standing between the survivors and the end. From there it comes down to aim, movement and keeping the base alive.
Both hands stay on the keyboard, the left on WASD and the right on J. That keeps it easy to pick up, and the challenge comes from how long you can keep the base in one piece.
Tips for The Last Guardian
- Rest a finger on J so you can keep firing while you steer with your other hand.
- Stay near the base. Chasing enemies far away leaves it open to the ones you missed.
- Keep moving while you shoot so you're a harder target.
- Visit the Shop between attempts to see what it offers before your next run.
- Play a few short rounds back to back. Each one shows you a little more about where the threats come from.

Who made The Last Guardian?
The Last Guardian was made by RichieMilos and released on itch.io. It was built with Unity, with ship, asteroid, background and laser art drawn from asset packs by other itch.io artists. FunClicker did not make the game; we embed the creator's own web version so you can play it here.
Can I play The Last Guardian on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook with a keyboard should run it, since The Last Guardian is a light 2D browser game that uses WASD and the J key. A phone is a poor fit, because the game expects a physical keyboard for both moving and shooting, and there are only a few keys to learn.
Is The Last Guardian unblocked at school?
The Last Guardian needs only a browser tab, with no download or plugin. Whether The Last Guardian unblocked access works on a school or library network depends on that network's filter, which we do not control. If the game loads, you can play it like anywhere else.
What controls does The Last Guardian use?
There are only two things to remember: WASD moves you and J fires. That layout keeps your left hand on movement and your right hand on the trigger, so it's quick to learn. If you want a reminder, the main menu has a Controls screen you can open before a run.
Does The Last Guardian have a shop?
Yes. The main menu has a Shop option alongside Start, Controls and Credits. Check it between attempts to see what's on offer before you head back out to defend the base. It's a simple way to change things up when you play several rounds in a row.
