Whitebough Forest

The forest road

Whitebough follows Hearthpine as Kataris stage three, with two right-hand road entrances and one exit at the left edge. A torch warns when enemies are passing through the timber-mine shortcut. The same enemies emerge with their health and statuses retained.

The approved map is preserved. The Yeti's first visible emergence unlocks discovery; opening a level preview does not reveal its hiding place. No new specialty unlock is added here.

New enemies

Wave 3 introduces one Snowboulder Giant. Its empty-handed walk gives way to a scoop, lift, aim and release; the separate boulder freezes one attacking tower only on impact. Two taps thaw the ice early, or it clears after five seconds.

Wave 4 introduces one Whitebough Yeti. Its planted frontal physical sweep strikes up to three defenders. Giants and Yetis first combine in wave 5. Neither introductory wave includes Rimewing denial.

Local validation

Two ordinary mixed builds were tested with a level-one Marko, no permanent upgrades, seeds 42 and 77, with and without two-tap thaw and conservative early calls. 15 of 16 final automated runs won. Detailed purchases, leaks and freeze downtime are retained in the review ledger. These policies do not establish novice fairness or physical-device performance.

Native phone-size compositions and production decoding were reviewed. Touch gestures on an actual phone, device frame times and steady/peak memory remain unverified. This is local development, not a public release or deployment.
