## What is Lantern Defense?

When the sun sets, monsters pour out of the woods. Build towers along the path, upgrade them, and keep the village lantern burning through the night.

■ Five towers, three upgrades each
• Archer Tower: fast arrows that also hit flying foes
• Cannon: area blasts that break up crowds
• Frost Spire: slows enemies down
• Arcane Tower: heavy magic that ignores armor
• Storm Coil: lightning that jumps between foes
Upgrade every tower three times, then from the third world specialize it into one of two branches: Marksman or Volley, Mortar or Inferno, Glacier or Blizzard, Archmage or Hex, Tempest or EMP.

■ 25 nights across 5 lands
Travel through Firefly Forest, Mistmarsh, Frostpass, the Ashen Ruins and the Dusk Desert and meet new monsters along the way: flying bats, armored skeletons, magic-resistant ghosts, healing shamans, big slimes that split in three… Pick the right towers for every foe.

■ Bosses and stars
A giant boss waits at the end of every world. Lose no lanterns to earn three stars, then spend your stars on permanent Research upgrades. Research can be reset for free at any time.

■ Nightmare, Heroic and Iron
Every night you clear unlocks Nightmare difficulty with much tougher foes, and three stars unlock Heroic (a single lantern) and Iron (only two tower types, no breaks). Eight stars per night, 200 in total.

■ Endless Night
Unlocked after the first world. How long can you last? Climb the Game Center leaderboard and collect achievements.

■ Also
• Speed controls (×1, ×2, ×3) and pause
• Call waves early for bonus gold
• Plays offline (ads appear only when online)
• No sign-up
