Four towers (Arrow, Pulse, Fire, Lightning) heat up as they fire; a gun at the top of its bar jams and vents for a few seconds, and repairs are always cheaper than rebuilding.

Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Lightholm is a single-player tower defense game released October 10, 2026 at $4.79, about keeping one lantern lit.
Enemies walk the road toward it, and you build towers beside the road to stop them.
Waves come at night; between them the sun comes up, the board is quiet, and you spend what you earned.
Weaknesses and towers
Every enemy is weak to one status: a Runner takes far more damage while Slowed, a Brute while Burning, a Leaper while Shocked.
One tower applies the status and another does the damage, so placement and order matter more than tower count.
Four towers: Arrow (longest reach), Pulse (wide slowing ring), Fire (short-range stacking burn) and Lightning (chaining shock).
Heat and who it is for
Towers heat up as they fire - a gun at the top of its bar jams, stops firing and vents for a few seconds; you can pay to clear a jam instantly.
Once the constellation gives them to you, you also throw frost, fire and lightning of your own via five Lantern Arts spells on the hotbar.
It suits tower defense players who want positional puzzle-solving rather than damage-type math (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
