About Lantern Night

Night has fallen on the forest path to Lanternfall, and shadow creatures are creeping out of the trees toward the village lanterns. You are one firefly.

Glide through glowing mushrooms and moonflowers to grow a swarm of light, and push the shadows back before they reach the fence. If the lanterns go out, your last light shines again beside you on the next loop.

Lantern Night is the calm, glowing member of the Swarm Rescue series, set among blue mushroom arches and fairy cottages.

How to play

SteerDrag left or right. On a keyboard, use A and D or the arrow keys.
GrowGlowcaps (+) add fireflies and moonflowers (×) multiply them. Thorns (−) and mist (÷) dim your swarm.
FightFly into a shadow column. The brighter, bigger swarm wins.
LoopIf the lanterns go out, your last light returns beside you on the next loop.

Tips

  • Moonflowers are the key. Find the path that passes two of them.
  • On later nights the middle column is huge: send two runs into it.
  • Fewer loops means more stars, so plan your first loop instead of rushing it.
