A lone ronin. A moonlit bridge. Everyone who crosses it has come for you. Lantern Ronin is a one-thumb parry duel. Enemies walk in from the left and the right and telegraph their strike. Tap that side at the right moment to parry and cut them down. Tap early and you swing at nothing. Tap late and a lantern flame goes out. Three flames, then the night ends. IT PLAYS IN SECONDS - One tap per side. No virtual sticks, no menus mid-fight. - Perfect parries build combos and multiply your score. - Runs last one to two minutes. Perfect for a quick round. IT STAYS DEEP - Footmen rush. Spearmen reach from further away. Shadows feint before they strike. Brutes take two parries. - Every ten cuts brings a darker night: faster strikes, more pressure from both sides. - Daily Duel: the same enemies in the same order for everyone, once a day. Beat your friends' scores on the leaderboard and send them a challenge. MAKE THE RONIN YOURS - Earn coins with every cut and every perfect parry. - Unlock ten hand-pixelled ronin: Indigo, Crimson, Jade, Ash, Gold, Violet, Snow, Ember, Sakura and Oni. HONEST AND LIGHT - Plays offline. Progress saves on your device. - Free. Optional ads only: watch one to relight your lantern or double your coins. - No account, no login, no permissions beyond the basics. Hand-drawn pixel art, original music and sound, haptic parries. Built by a small studio that wanted a fighting game you can play while the kettle boils. How long can you hold the bridge?
