Lantern Luck

About this game

One spark. A thousand lanterns.

On the night of the lantern festival the river town glows — and you are the one who lights it. Pull back, aim and release a spark: it ricochets through rows of hanging paper lanterns, and every lantern it touches bursts into light.

LIGHT × FLAME
Paper lanterns add Light. Red lanterns add Flame. Moon lanterns multiply it. Every launch ends with a simple formula — Light × Flame — and the numbers grow fast when your build comes together.

YOUR BOARD IS YOUR DECK
Between rounds visit the Night Market: hang new lanterns exactly where you want them, repaint them with the Master's Brush, take weak ones down with the Snuffer, and swap the sparks in your pouch.

BREAK THE RULES
Collect up to five talismans — the Koi Carp, the Paper Dragon, the Phoenix, the Fox Spirit and many more. Each one bends the rules of the festival. Find the combination that turns a quiet launch into millions.

EIGHT NIGHTS, TWELVE SPIRITS OF THE WEATHER
Each night ends with a boss: Fog hides the lanterns, Wind bends your aim, Downpour drags sparks down, Whirlwind shuffles the whole board. Survive all eight nights — then keep going.

CATCH THE LOTUS
A lotus boat drifts along the river. Catch your falling spark in it and you get the spark back.
