## What is Ironwood Vale?

The great Ironwood is sick. Its roots weep black sap, the Elder watches from his window, and something below is spreading. Someone has to go down there.

Ironwood Vale is a complete, pocket-sized action-adventure in the spirit of the 16-bit classics.

• New post-game challenge area with a final secret boss
• Painted story vignettes mark each dungeon's threshold — and one choice you made early may change what you see at the very end
• Every villager redrawn, new item buttons, and a new app icon
• The Bastion Warden fights with new art and a proper introduction
• Dozens of polish fixes: cleaner boss animations, sharper combat feedback, remastered ending
