Bramblewatch on iPad: towers fire across the Swan Lake Moon map under a full moon

The mapsEvery map is a painting

A bamboo garden, a crystal cavern, a maple shrine, a moonlit lake. Water, mist, embers and fireflies move on top of the paint, and on an iPad or an unfolded phone you see more of each scene.

See it moveA kill chain on Maple Mountain Shrine

Fell foes in quick succession and the chain climbs; tap your lantern, tap the road, and a Lantern Strike hits and freezes everything there. The full trailer arrives before launch.

How it playsEvery wave asks for a choice

Four towers, eight branches

Thornshooter, Pinecone Mortar, Mistlamp and Stag Ballista. Three ranks each, then a two-way choice: Briar Volley or Longthorn, Deep Frost or Hex Lamp.

Foes with tricks

Armoured beetles, moles that dive underground, toadstools that heal their friends, boars that charge when hurt. Seven kinds, seven answers.

24 levels, 10 bosses

Ten bosses in eleven boss battles, from the Rotking at level 5 to the Hollow Stag at level 24. Earn three stars, then replay in Thorn mode.

Act during the wave

Fire a Lantern Strike, call the next wave early for extra sap, and build kill chains for bonus score.

Wildwood Run

After level 5: an endless run across more than 30 painted maps, drafting boons from 26 cards. A boss closes every fourth glade.

A Daily Run for everyone

The same run for every player each day, with your best glade and your streak. Plus daily quests, 32 trophies and Harvest Hollow skins.
