## What is Ember Bloom?

Ember Bloom: Core Defense is a unique take on tower defense, featuring an original node-linking system. Instead of placing traditional towers, players connect energy nodes to form circuits that power their defenses. Strategic linking and efficient layouts are key to maximizing damage and triggering powerful combo effects.

With 100 handcrafted levels, the game introduces new mechanics, enemy types, and tactical challenges over time. Players must adapt their strategies, manage limited resources, and respond to increasingly complex enemy waves.

The game presents a warm, vibrant visual style with smooth animations and satisfying combo feedback, creating an engaging and rewarding experience.

Features:

Innovative node-linking defense gameplay

100 progressive levels with increasing difficulty

Combo-based scoring and visual effects

Local leaderboard and achievement system

Easy to learn, strategic to master

Perfect for players who enjoy both casual gameplay and strategic depth.
