About this game

Hold back the dark in Hollow Lantern Watch — a warm, cosy tower defense about defending the last flame with light. Place glowing towers along the path, watch their light burn the shadows that creep toward your fire, and survive wave after wave.

No ads. No accounts. No internet. No sound. Just light and shadow.

★ BUILD WITH LIGHT
Tap a tower, then tap a tile to place it. Every tower casts a pool of light — its reach — and automatically scorches any shadow that wanders in. Watch your coverage and plan your maze of light.

★ THREE KINDS OF TOWER
• Lantern — cheap and fast, reliable single-target light.
• Brazier — slow, heavy bursts that splash all shadows nearby.
• Beacon — chilling light that slows the dark so others can finish it.
Tap any tower to upgrade it for more damage and range.

★ THREE KINDS OF SHADOW
Common Shades, swift Wisps, and lumbering Hulks all march for your flame — each wave mixes them in tougher and tougher numbers.

★ THREE HAND-CRAFTED MAPS
Each map winds a different path through the dark, with eight escalating waves. Survive them all to win — keep more of your flame alight to earn more stars.

★ EARN & SPEND EMBERS
Every shadow you defeat drops embers (gold). Spend them on more towers and upgrades, and start each wave on your own terms.

★ A WARM, GLOWING LOOK
Soft light pools, a living flame, drifting embers and shadow creatures with glowing eyes — all rendered with gentle haptics instead of sound.

★ PLAY ANYWHERE
Completely offline. No sign-up, no tracking, no in-app purchases, no interruptions.
