LD: Lighthouse Defence

🗼LIGHTHOUSE DEFENCE🌊

Defend your lighthouse, upgrade it into a transmission tower, and send a signal that reaches the stars.

🔵 Description

You are the keeper of a lone lighthouse at the edge of the world.

Every night, waves of creatures attack.

You fight them off, protect the tower, and survive.

Every 5 levels, a boss appears.

Defeat it to obtain rare parts and upgrade your lighthouse.

But this is more than just defense.

Your lighthouse evolves into a transmission tower.

You send a SIGNAL.

At first, someone responds… but they can’t help you.

Your signal is too weak. You are redirected further.

And further. And further.

Upgrade your tower. Extend your reach.

Break through the silence.

Send the SIGNAL across the darkness.

Send the SIGNAL until it reaches the stars.

And maybe… someone will finally come.
