Lantern Keep: Tower Defense

Lantern Keep is a cozy tower-defense game about sharing a little light.

Each night, shadows wander the garden paths toward your lantern. Plant defenders on the round beds to stop them. But light is scarce: you have only three beams (four from the sixth garden on). A plant left in the dark falls asleep and can't fight, so move your light as the shadows cross the garden.

TEN GARDENS, EIGHT NIGHTS EACH
Travel from mossy stone paths and a koi pond crossing to a bird-bath courtyard, a misty highland terrace, moonlit flowering cacti and a dawn orchard. The last two gardens open a side gate, so shadows come down a second route.

NINE DEFENDERS
Sunspikes fire fast, Frostferns slow, Emberbells burst clustered shadows, Mooncaps poison armored foes, and Twinreeds, Crownpeas, Stormthistles, Basinblooms and the Cinderlily join as you go. Pick up to three plant types for each garden, then repeat them across every bed. Grow plants to level 3, or sell them for 75% back.

NINE KINDS OF SHADOW
Rushing Wisps, heavy Hulks, armored Shellbacks, dashing Skippers, regrowing Menders, Broodshades that split in two, Gale Heralds that speed up their friends, and the Moth, which puts your nearest bed to sleep.
