Wispfall

A manor keeps its souls captive. Go down floor by floor and set them free by drawing a chain between neighbouring spirits of the same kind.

The longer the chain, the richer the harvest. But every move wakes what sleeps.

YOU ARE A PIECE OF THE BOARD You don't move a cursor. Your chain starts from a tile touching you and ends on the last spirit freed: harvesting is moving — and choosing where you land.

THE DOOR The goal opens the exit, it never pushes you through it. Leave now, or stay for one more chain and the third star: you set your own level of risk.

WHAT WAITS INSIDE • The stained glass shard — a chain of 10 links drops one. Passing through it frees your chain from its colour and lets you carry on with another kind of spirit. • Wrath — the manor wakes one spirit every turn, and an enraged spirit strikes if you land beside it. You have three embers (Life Point), no more. • The Nightmare — a monster that walks towards you and strikes on all eight sides. Eight links to bring it down. • The dark — the lantern shows only a few tiles, the firefly lights the tip of your chain. You only see far by committing. • Boons — Five favours to buy between floors with the souls you gathered.

THREE WAYS DOWN • Adventure — 40 hand-written levels, from the Hall to the Well, one to three stars each, and a Guardian holding the door. • Survival — no goal, no end: go down until the last ember. Game Center leaderboards for score and depth. • Daily Challenge — the same board for everyone, one attempt, a leaderboard reset every day.

MADE FOR EYES AND THUMBS • Colourblind mode: every kind has its own silhouette as much as its own colour. • One-handed, portrait only. • Offline, no account, no waiting. • Your progress follows you across your devices with iCloud backup. • iPhone and iPad. English and French.

Wispfall plays in three minutes or in an hour. The chain is always one link too short.
