## What is Trenchlight?

The seafloor mining platforms went dark when the Bloom came up out of the trench. You are the last light crew. Bolt guns to the deck plating, weave the tunnels they have to crawl through, and hold the light until the evacuation sub surfaces.

TRENCHLIGHT is an open-field maze tower defense. You don't defend a fixed path - you build it. Every turret is also a wall, so where you place it decides the route the Crawl has to walk. A good maze turns a ten-second sprint into a minute-long gauntlet, and that is the whole game.

WHAT YOU GET
- 50 hand-built levels across five acts, each on Normal, Hard and Nightmare
- 10 turrets, each branching at tier 3 into one of two specialisations, for 20 distinct endgame guns
- 14 enemies, every one designed to break a specific tactic: armour that shrugs off your kinetic guns, flyers that ignore your maze entirely, tunnellers that go under it, a Leech that mends what you just shot, a final boss whose armour class rotates
- Three damage types against three armour classes, so the right gun always beats the biggest gun
- Optional Directives on every level, for when three stars stops being enough
- Endless mode per act, with leaderboards

NO NONSENSE
No ads. No energy timers. No loot boxes. No currency. No account required. Works completely offline, forever. Acts I to III are free and complete - thirty levels ending on a boss - and the rest is one optional unlock that buys levels, never power.

Landscape, built natively for iOS.
