About the game
Place Wick, Ember and Frost lanterns beside the path and upgrade them as the shades come in waves. Every level has a new winding path, more waves and tougher shades, with a big shade at the end.
Win a level to pick a boon (more damage, range, coins, lives or fire rate) that stays for good, so even a lost level leaves you stronger for the next try. A new Daily Grove every day keeps your streak going.
