STORMWARDEN

**The storm doesn't care about your shift. The ships do.**

STORMWARDEN is a tight arcade survival game about one lighthouse, one lamp, and five long nights. Traders are running the strait in the dark — hold your beam on them to fill their guidance ring and they'll steer themselves into the harbor. But wreckers hunt these waters too, and they love a keeper who isn't watching.

**How it plays:**

- Aim the beam with your mouse (or arrow keys). The lamp burns oil while lit.

- Guide traders home. Keep the light on them until their guidance ring fills — guided ships dodge the rocks on their own.

- Watch for the rare royal galleon — worth triple gold if you bring her in.

- Spook the wreckers. Catch them in the beam to drive them off, or blast the foghorn (Space) to scatter every wrecker in the light at once.

- Mind the oil. Douse the lamp (right-click / L) to let it recover — a dark lamp guides nothing.

- Sunk traders and wrecker raids damage the harbor. Lose all 5 hull, and the light goes out.

**What's inside:**
