About this game

A small lantern, a dark room, and a picture waiting underneath.

Horong is a cozy Light Up (Akari) puzzle. Place little lantern spirits until every cell of the room glows — but never let two lights face each other. It takes sixty seconds to learn and quietly holds you for hundreds of nights.


LIGHT THE ROOM, REVEAL THE PICTURE

Every level you finish lifts one piece of a hidden illustration. Thirty levels complete a chapter picture, and finished chapters come alive as a short animation. 1,200 hand-tuned levels across 40 chapters.


A DAILY LANTERN, SHARED BY EVERYONE

One puzzle a day, the same for every player in the world. Build a streak — and if you miss a day, it forgives you once. Share how you did without spoiling the answer.


NO TIMERS. NO PENALTIES. NOT HERE.

The Journey never rushes you. There is no score to lose, no lives to run out, no failure screen. Stuck? A hint is always a tap away — lamp oil refills on its own while you are away. Want to play with nothing recorded at all? That is Rest mode.


AND WHEN YOU WANT TENSION — FLAME RUSH

An opt-in time attack. Solve fast, earn seconds, chase a record. Even here nothing is taken from you: when the timer ends, the light simply goes out.


PUZZLES THAT CHANGE SHAPE

Nine board silhouettes — diamond, heart, lantern, hourglass and more. Puddles that light passes through but Horongi cannot stand in. Sleeping Horongi you have to leave in the dark. Each chapter brings its own twist, so the hundredth room still surprises you.


MAKE HORONGI YOURS

More than 90 decorations — outfits, board themes, finishing flourishes and special friends. Every one of them is purely cosmetic. Nothing you unlock or buy changes the difficulty, the hints, or your progress. Ever.


49 BADGES FOR THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN

Not only for clearing levels — for coming back seven days running, for resting, for petting Horongi, for browsing the shop without buying a thing.

What’s new

Horong's face hasn't changed. Night has simply fallen behind it.

The app icon's background moved from pale cream to a deep night sky. A lantern
shows better in the dark, and so does Horong on your home screen.

Only the icon changed. Your puzzles, your journey, and every star you have
collected are exactly where you left them.
