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 โ€” one lamp at a time. โ–  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. โ–  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 โ€” the water in the tank sloshes along. Rings already seated on a pillar never shake loose. โ–  Ten seas, 100 stages From a shallow bay to a quiet abyss. Every new sea brings new water โ€” 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. โ–  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 โ€” sixteen pages in all. โ–  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. โ–  One more thing at the end of the road Light all 100 lamps and a second rule opens up: Matching colours only โ€” each ring seats only on a pillar of its own colour. โ–  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. โ–  Free, up to a point Stages 1โ€“30 are free, with ads. Ads appear only between stages โ€” once every three stages, and never during the first three. One payment unlocks ยท all 100 stages ยท no ads, ever ยท Still Waters โ€” pick any sea you've already crossed and stay, tossing rings with nothing counting stages or score Not a subscription.
