## What is Beneath The Lighthouse?

"I stare at the horizon every night before I sleep hoping to catch a glimpse of the lighthouse.The light reminds me of Grandpa and my summer visits playing on the cliffs. That warm life saving beacon not only saves ships, it keeps me safe too. Grandpa’s there just across the water watching over me.

But the lighthouse hasn't shone now for days and the fog is thick! What's happened? It's time to visit Grandpa!"

Beneath the lighthouse is a serene puzzle action game about a boy in search of his lost Grandpa. Your journey will take you through mysterious mechanical wheels that lay beneath the lighthouse!

**Beneath The Lighthouse is optimized for iPhone5, iPad3, iPad mini2 and iPod Touch 5G or Newer. You can try it on older devices, but we can’t guarantee a smooth rolling experience!

Premium unlock:

We offer a single iAP to unlock the game to a premium experience. The premium version contains no 3rd party ads and we remove the lives system.
