Lantern Keep

About the game

Lantern Keep is a tower defense strategy game set in a moonlit meadow. Shadow creatures pour out of a portal and follow a cobblestone path toward your lantern. Build and upgrade crystal, frost and mortar towers beside the path to stop them. Waves grow stronger, a boss arrives every tenth wave, and the challenge is to see how far you can go.

How to play

1. Pick a tower at the bottom of the screen, then tap an empty square beside the path to build it.
2. Press Start wave. Towers aim and shoot by themselves.
3. Every creature that reaches the lantern costs lives; at zero the lantern goes out.
4. Defeated creatures drop coins: build more towers, or tap a tower to upgrade or sell it.

Controls

Tap or click; keys 1, 2, 3 pick towers and Space starts a wave.

Tips

• Build inside the bends of the path, where a tower covers two stretches at once.
• Frost towers slow creatures down, which gives your other towers more time to hit them.
• Upgrading is often better value than building another basic tower.
