Lumenwatch: Merge Defense TD

Dusk falls over the mountain valley and the Gloom is coming down the roads. In Lumenwatch you keep the Great Lantern lit through one long night, until dawn. A portrait strategy game that mixes merge tower defense with a light beam you aim yourself. PLAN AT DUSK - Place guardian jars from the shelf onto the hex terraces around the lantern. - Drop a jar onto an identical jar to merge it: one rank higher, up to rank 10. - Each guardian has a glow pattern: a merge ranks up the jars on its painted cells. - Spend Glow to light dark cells. The terrace grows from 7 to 19 to 37 cells over the first nights. AIM THE LIGHT AT NIGHT - Hold and drag to aim the lantern's beam. - Jars in the light charge up and release their guardians onto the roads. - Gloom hide in the dark: only Gloom caught in the light can be targeted. - The beam burns oil, so choose between charging guardians and lighting the road. - Fit up to four lenses to the lantern, from Swift to Storm, to change what the beam does. SURVIVE THE STORM - Gloom come down three mountain passes, and each wave's road is shown before it starts. - Ten kinds of Gloom and five storm bosses, among them the Storm Giant, the Moth Queen and the Clockwork Night. - A cottage stands beside each road: every cottage still standing at dawn is a star. - On longer nights, pick 1 of 3 Embers at the Campfire between acts to shape the rest of the night. COLLECT 27 GUARDIANS - Lamplighter, Glint Archer, Captain Wick, Frostglass, Pip Spark and 22 more, each living in a glass jar. - Take a watch of five into each night, upgrade them with Wisp shards and Glowdust. - Set Starglass shards into a guardian's three settings. - Travel the valleys, from Emberfall and Frostpine to Dawnspire, 15 nights each. MORE TO DO AS THE NIGHTS GO ON New places open one by one as you keep the light: - Moonlit Glade: Moonflower Greenhouse, Firefly Meadow, Constellations and Firefly Drop. - Night Trials: Lantern Duel against AI rival watchers, Ember Rush, Long Night and Beam Puzzle. - Watch Duties, Starpath, Heirlooms, Nightly Gifts and the Night Market. GOOD TO KNOW - No account or login needed. No internet connection is needed to play. - Portrait, one-handed play. - Contains ads (rewarded videos you choose to watch, interstitial and app-open ads) and offers in-app purchases. Light the lantern, place your jars and keep the valley safe until sunrise.
