About
Toss a ring, light a lamp!
A hundred lamps lie dark along the sea floor. Float rings on water jets, land them on the pillars, and light the road again — one lamp at a time.
■ You can't fail
No timer, no lives, no game over. If every ring gets stuck, just set them out again. Nothing is lost by not clearing a stage, so you never have to play well.
■ Tap to nudge, hold to whoosh
Two water-jet buttons at the bottom of the screen lift the rings. When that isn't enough, shake and tilt the phone itself — the water in the tank sloshes along. Rings already seated on a pillar never shake loose.
■ Ten seas, 100 stages
From a shallow bay to a quiet abyss. Every new sea brings new water — an updraft lifting the middle, a crossflow that keeps pushing sideways, clams that puff and rest, jellyfish drifting with updrafts in tow, a swell that lifts the whole tank and lets it fall. Each sea has its own painting and its own music.
■ A fairy tale, page by page
Each time a new sea opens, a new picture arrives: the story of Lu, a cloth doll who leapt from a dark lighthouse into the sea and gave away one piece of herself for every lamp she lit. Every page you collect stays in the picture book on the title screen — sixteen pages in all.
■ It runs without words
There is no text on the play screen. What to do, and how far you've come, is told by the picture alone.
■ One more thing at the end of the road
Light all 100 lamps and a second rule opens up: Matching colours only — each ring seats only on a pillar of its own colour.
■ Perfect for
Bedtime, a commute, any moment your hands are restless and your head wants quiet. A stage takes a few minutes and can be left at any point. No internet connection needed.
■ Free, up to a point
Stages 1–30 are free, with ads. Ads appear only between stages — once every three stages, and never during the first three.
