Emberwatch

The beacon still burns. Everything else is going dark.

Emberwatch is a compact tower defence built for one thumb. A shadow tide pours from a rift in the hills and walks a winding road toward your keep. You have gold, five tower families, and the time between waves. That is all.

FORGE A LINE
• Emberbow - cheap, quick, and the only tower that never misses the air.
• Bombard - lobbed shells that splash a whole cluster. Ground only, and worth it.
• Rimespire - chills everything it touches so the rest of the line can keep up.
• Stormvane - lightning that leaps between targets and, later, stuns.
• Pyrelight - a pulse of fire that leaves the road burning.

FIFTEEN SIEGES, THREE LANDS
Walk the Greenwood, then Ashfall Reach, then the ice of Frostmere. Roads get longer. Waves get meaner. A Shadow Warden waits at the gate of each land - and two of them wait at Emberwatch itself.

RELICS THAT LAST
Win emberdust. Spend it in the relic shop. Keen Fletching, Deep Coffers, the Warded Gate - permanent ranks that follow you into the next siege. Watch a short film for a little extra dust when the treasury runs dry.

BUILT FOR A PHONE
Portrait. One-handed. Call the next wave early for bonus gold if you are feeling greedy. Speed the clock to 2x or 3x when the line is holding. Pause when it is not.

The sprites, the shots, the music loops - all forged in-engine. No stock packs. Just signed-distance-field art and a small synthesiser, baked before the build.

The last light is yours to keep.
