New in 1.2: three new bosses, treasure chests, and a world leaderboard. Draw a circle around the sea monsters and crush them.
Draw a loop around your enemies and crush them.
Lantern is a deep-sea survival game you play with one finger. Your ship leaves a glowing trail behind it. Fly a full circle around a group of sea monsters and close the loop. Small creatures inside are destroyed, and bigger ones take heavy damage. There is no fire button and nothing to aim. You just drag to steer.
A dive takes about fifteen minutes. Reach the bottom or sink trying.
DRAW TO FIGHT
• Loop: fly a circle around enemies to crush everything inside
• Wave: move side to side to push enemies away
• Spiral: fly three circles in a row to fire shots all around you
• King Tide: close three loops to flood the water around you
YOUR FLEET
Helper ships follow behind you and fire at enemies. When something hits you, the last ship in the line takes the hit instead. Lost ships come back after a short time, and you can upgrade how many ships you can have.
EVERY DIVE
• 20 depths, each harder than the last, with a boss at the bottom of each one
• 8 weapons and 20 upgrades to choose from as you level up
• 4 pairs of weapons that combine into something stronger
• 21 kinds of glowing sea creatures, from jellyfish to a giant anglerfish and the Kraken
• Endless mode once you clear a depth
• A world leaderboard to compare your best score with players everywhere
WHAT YOU KEEP
• 16 permanent upgrades you buy between dives
• 5 ships to fly, with 4 of them earned by playing
• Pets that swim with you and gear for your ship
