About

Glowfall

Features
Read full description

Glowfall is a magical lantern-chaining puzzle game about restoring shrines, calming overloaded skies, and mastering beautiful combo runs. Draw paths through matching lanterns, release at the perfect moment, and use special lanterns to turn a crowded sky into a glowing cascade. Every run asks you to read the board, chase the objective, and keep the sky under control before pressure builds too high. FEATURES • Chain lanterns with smooth path-drawing gameplay • Play score, clear, color, and pressure-based objectives • Use prism, calm, and echo lanterns for tactical clears • Discover shrine spirits and bonus moments during runs • Restore the Founder Shrine and bring its light into gameplay • Master harder levels with sky pressure and overload states • Chase clean clears, long chains, and high-score runs • Play at your pace with readable, cozy arcade puzzle action Glowfall is designed for quick sessions that still feel rich: a few moves can become a perfect chain, a risky board can become a recovery, and a dark shrine can slowly come back to life. The sky is filling. Draw the chain. Restore the glow.
