Greenwood is waiting
THE LAST LIGHT

Every wave brings
a harder choice.

Light on the Ramparts is a native iOS tower-defense game built with SwiftUI and SpriteKit. Defend the beacon by placing towers beside winding roads, managing battle gold, and adjusting your strategy as enemy waves grow more dangerous.

Every road has its own rhythm. Every tower placement can turn the tide.

THE ASHEN MARCH

Ten missions.
One beacon to hold.

Follow a handcrafted campaign across winding roads and changing battlefields. Learn each wave pattern, read the terrain, and build a defense that can endure.

01 — 10A handcrafted campaign
BEYOND THE MARCH

Three realms.
Endless waves.

When the campaign road ends, see how long your defenses can last.

♧

Greenwood

Deep woods. Familiar paths. A quiet that never lasts.

✳

Emberfall

Scorched ground. Restless skies. Heat on the horizon.

❄

Frostmere

Frozen roads. Pale light. No room for hesitation.

CHOOSE YOUR DEFENSE

Build a line that holds.

Six towers. Three abilities. Countless ways to face the next wave.

⌁

Six tower types

Start with Archer, Cannon, Flame, and Frost. Unlock Hot Oil to splash and burn enemy groups, or Tar to slow them with sticky volleys.

↗

Shape the battlefield

Place towers beside the road, upgrade them to rank 4, or sell and reposition them when your strategy needs to change.

✧

Turn the tide

Call Beacon Flare, Rally, and Mend when the road is in danger. Choose temporary boons during Endless runs.

☼

Face the host

Raiders, runners, shield bearers, siege brutes, juggernauts, and commanders each bring a new threat.

⌖

Adapt to each wave

Swift Raid, Iron Tide, Frenzy, Thick Fog, and Gold Rush twist the battle and test your plans.

⚑

Grow your command

Earn coins, gain Commander ranks, complete daily orders, and unlock achievements along the way.

CURRENCY & PURCHASES

Earn, spend,
and keep watch.

Battle gold is earned and spent during a run. Coins are earned through play and spent on permanent Armory upgrades. Lanterns are a rare currency found during battles.

Hot Oil costs 20,000 coins or 5 Lanterns to unlock; Tar costs 60,000 coins or 5 Lanterns. The app may offer a one-time in-app purchase of 5 Lanterns through Apple’s in-app purchase system. The App Store shows the current price before purchase. Lanterns have no cash or transferable value.

YOUR GAME, YOUR DEVICE

Ready when
you return.

Campaign progress, settings, and game records are saved on your device. The game does not currently offer an online account or cloud save.

Adjust sound, music, vibration, auto-start, and reduced motion to make the defense your own.

Rare Lanterns can be used for a lantern pack where available, for revives, or to unlock specialist towers.

THE BEACON IS YOURS TO DEFEND
