Bellwarden: Bell Ringing Game

Defend a medieval village by ringing the bells of its cathedral tower, and learn real change ringing while you do it.

HOLD THE NIGHT
Tap a bell for a quick pull or hold the rope to charge a fuller swing. Each bell sends out a sound wave that damages folkloric monsters as it passes. Keep them off the cathedral steps until dawn. Play Night Vigil, the endless Gauntlet, the Daily Tolling or Boss Rush.

RING REAL METHODS
Tap bells in the order of a change-ringing method to build your score multiplier. In 4.0 every method row is generated from place notation checked against the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers' method library.

NEW IN 4.0
• Method Library: 12 methods from Plain Hunt and Plain Bob to Cambridge, Yorkshire, Bristol and London Surprise Major, plus Grandsire Doubles, Kent Treble Bob Minor and Stedman Triples. Each shows its place notation, lead length, lead head, hunt bells and the full plain course.
• Blue lines: follow any bell's path through the whole plain course, lead by lead, with the treble's line alongside.
• Your own methods: type place notation (for example x16x16x16,12), choose a stage from 3 to 16 bells, and see it checked as you type before saving. Practise it in the Method Workshop.
• Corrected method rows: five of the six in-game methods had incorrect rows in earlier versions. They are now generated from verified notation. Workshop results saved earlier are kept and labelled, and repair practice uses the corrected rows.

PRACTISE
• Method Workshop: choose rows from any library or custom method, practise from memory, keep a mistake notebook and replay only the rows you missed.
• Guided drills, a ropesight trainer and an acoustics lab with synthesized bell tones and partials.
