Grow a spire.
Hold the Blight.
An idle tower defense in a pitch-black fungal hollow. Your spire aims and fires glowing spores by itself. Your only job is to decide what it grows into.
The loop
The same compulsive loop as the idle defense classics, set in a moody, glowing 3D diorama built for one-handed portrait play. You never aim. Every input is a tap on a big button.
Kills drop Nectar. Spend it mid-run across THORN, and ROOT. Every purchase changes the spire you can see.
The Blight crawls in from the dark, visible only in your spire's glow. Your spire aims and fires by itself. Waves escalate and a boss arrives every ten.
Every run ends by design. When the spire wilts, your Spores go into the Mycelium Workshop for permanent levels, so the next run starts stronger.
Close the app and your mycelium keeps harvesting Spores for up to 8 hours. Come back, collect, and push one wave further than last time.
Nectar: spent during a run, resets each run
Spores: permanent, spent in the Workshop

Grow your Spire
You are the Sporewright, keeper of the last living Mycelial Spire. It is the only light in the world, and it grows with every upgrade you buy, through five stages.
A single glowing teal mushroom on a root stump. Every run starts here.
A twisted trunk with shelf fungi and a cap of glowing spore bulbs.
A tangle of deep-blue roots bristling with glowing mushroom caps.
A tall dark trunk spreading a wide canopy of violet shelf caps.
A luminous trunk ringed by tiers of violet caps on a wide root base. The long-term goal.
THORN buys add launcher bulbs to the cap, glowing pinker as Critical Chance rises.
BARK buys armor the trunk in shelf-fungus plates and raise a shield dome.
ROOT buys spread glowing root veins across the forest floor.Three upgrade trees
22 in-run upgrades bought with Nectar, plus 2 that live only in the Workshop. Costs reset every run, so every run starts with cheap buys, and each upgrade has a permanent Workshop twin you level with Spores. You start with 10 and unlock 14 more as your best wave climbs.

Bestiary
Eleven kinds of Blight, two of them bosses. Each creature is visible only once it enters your spire's glow, and each one asks a different question of your build.
A hulking boss that walks in on every tenth wave, announced by a red pulse and a camera push-in. Its footsteps shake the screen, knockback can't move it, and Glowcap Orbs can only wound it, never destroy it outright.
The Blight Heart's own boss. Every 7 seconds she calls two Cavern Burrowers up beside her, and they slip under your spire's fire. From wave 15 on Tier 5 and deeper, she takes turns with the Rot Colossus.
The endless swarm. Crawls to the spire and chews on it, once a second.
Twice as fast as a beetle and frailer. It reaches the spire before you notice.
Slow, heavy and hard to push back. The screen shakes when it slams into the spire.
Stops just outside your starting range and lobs rot globs that always hit.
Answer: buy Range.
Never attacks. Halves the damage taken by Blight around it, marked by a violet ground ring.
Bursts into three Mold Crawlers when it dies.
Tunnels in where spores and orbs can't reach, then surfaces right beside the spire.
Answer: close damage, Barbed Cap, Health.
A regrowing shield soaks damage first. Chip damage loses to it; burst damage wins.
Hovers and flickers into a ghost, out of reach. Spores already in flight lose it.
Answer: Attack Speed and Multishot.
Any Blight can spawn as a violet-rimmed Elite: four times the health, harder hits, triple the rewards. They show up deep into long runs, and from the first wave of Tier 5.
When the hollow is packed, new arrivals merge into one of their kind, which swells up and pulses. Same total threat, same total rewards.
Six tiers
Reach a wave milestone to unlock the next tier: tougher Blight, bigger payouts, and a new look for the hollow. Each tier also pays Spore rewards at seven wave milestones.

Idle, your way
While you slept…After five minutes away, your mycelium harvests Spores for up to 8 hours, based on your recent runs. Level Offline Harvest in the Workshop to boost it.
1x and 2x from the start. 3x unlocks when you first reach Tier 3, and 4x when you reach Tier 4.
Runs are saved at the end of every wave and pause when you leave the app, so you can resume a run even after the app is closed.
Waves 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 each pay a one-time Spore reward, in every tier.
An idle tower defense for phones. You keep a single Mycelial Spire in the middle of a dark fungal hollow. It aims and fires on its own while waves of Blight close in. You spend Nectar on upgrades during the run, and Spores on permanent Workshop levels between runs.
Sporewright is coming to the App Store and Google Play. There is no release date yet. Pre-register below and you'll hear the moment it's out.
No. The spire picks its own targets. Every input is a tap on a big button, laid out for one-handed portrait play.
Every run ends by design: the Blight grows faster than any spire can. When yours wilts you collect Spores (plus an end-of-run bonus), spend them in the Mycelium Workshop, and start the next run stronger. Hitting wave milestones unlocks deeper tiers.
Yes. After at least five minutes away, your mycelium harvests Spores for up to 8 hours, and a popup lets you collect them when you return. A run in progress pauses and saves, so you can resume it.
No. There are no accounts. Your progress is saved on your device.
