A new look for the Grove. • The roads, forests, ponds and the Everspring itself have been repainted. • All six towers and their twelve specializations are redrawn, larger and easier to read. So is the Horde. • The tower buttons now show the tower, and build spots light up while you place one. • On tall phones the tower deck uses the whole screen.

New in 1.0.6 • Share your score: after a Daily Trial, an Endless run past the last wave, a won road or a Heroic clear, tap Share to send a picture of your stand to friends, with your score on it, or save it to Photos. • Game Center Challenges: in Apple's Games app, challenge friends to beat your Daily Trial score or to hold deeper than you in Endless.

New in 1.0.5 • Game Center leaderboards: today’s Daily Trial score and your deepest Endless wave, ranked against Wardens everywhere. Open them from the menu, the Trial card or the results screen. • The Daily Trial now changes at the same moment worldwide, so every Warden plays the same Trial on the same day. • On iPad in landscape, the side panel shows field notes when nothing is selected: who is coming next, what they are weak or strong against, and the wave after. Fixes • The final wave no longer previews a wave 21 that never comes. • Spell names fit their buttons on larger iPhones.

New in 1.0.4 • A fourth road: Moonwell Terraces. 25 waves by moonlight across three terraces — the road forks, meets at the moonwell, and forks again. Moonfire Altars reach 15% further under the moon. • Gorrak's Champion, a new mini-boss whose golden shield wall halves the damage he and nearby orcs take. • Aelith redrawn from head to toe, and the Elven Reinforcements with her. • Tap any empty spot beside the road to build right there. • New players start straight in the first road, with the guide. Fixes • The results screen waits a moment before its buttons respond, so a tap meant for the last enemy no longer ends a run by accident. • The ad banner no longer stays on screen after you leave a road.

New in 1.0.3 • Heroic roads: earn 3 stars on a road to unlock its Heroic version. Twelve late waves, 5 Light, no revive, and the road's signature enemy in every wave. • Endless curses: take up to three handicaps before an Endless run and earn up to 2.5× Essence. • Relic reforging: reforge any relic you own up to three stars for a stronger main stat and shorter ability cooldowns. Fixes • Fixed a bug that could turn the map black and cover it with white trails, most often after returning to the game from the background. Sprites are no longer redrawn every frame on iPhone. • Fixed a leak on the last enemy that could turn a defeat into a win. • The first-road guide now waits until your first tower is built.

New players get a guided first tower: the first wave waits while a pointer shows where to build and when to call the wave. Daily Trial: a new challenge every day, the same for every Warden. One road, one twist and one barred tower, 12 waves that end on Warlord Gorrak. Hold it for bonus Essence, keep a daily streak for more, and replay it to beat your best score. It opens after your first victory. The ad banner now recovers on its own after a failed load or a dropped connection, and bonus videos are only offered when one is ready to play. After a strong win you may be asked to rate Everspring. It is Apple's standard rating sheet, shown at most once per update.

Essence now comes from deeds instead of grinding. Your first victory on each road and each difficulty, every new star and every new Endless record pay the most, so the Armory is something you unlock across the campaign rather than in a handful of fast runs. Relics unlock in order: rare, then epic, then legendary. No more skipping straight to the legendary gear. Aelith keeps up. The hero now levels to 20, and her damage, health and all four abilities grow with her, so she still matters in the late waves instead of falling off. Fixed an Endless stalemate where shamans could keep a pack alive forever just outside tower range. This version also adds a small advertisement banner at the bottom of the screen while you are defending a road. It sits below the play area and the tower buttons, never over them, and there are no full-screen ads and still nothing to buy. Ads are non-personalized, so the game never asks to track you.
