Lighthouse Nights
Coming soon
The light is yours tonight.
Boats feel their way in out of the dark down five lanes. Catch one in the beam at the right moment and it comes home.
What kind of game is Lighthouse Nights?
A cosy timing game for iPhone, iPad and Android. You keep a lighthouse. Boats come in out of the dark down five lanes, and a tap while the beam is on a lane guides one home. Fog boats need the bell instead. A night lasts about a minute.
This one is for you if
- You want a game you can play at midnight without your heart rate going up
- You like timing that rewards patience rather than twitch
- You would rather be useful to strangers than beat them
One thumb, one beam
Tap the lane the light is on while a boat is close. That is the whole control scheme, and the window is generous on purpose.
Fog needs the bell
Some boats cannot see the lamp at all, so you ring for them instead. In October something with no lights of its own comes in off the water: bell first, then the beam.
The logbook
Every boat home is written down, the one in twenty-five that arrives lantern-lit counted separately, alongside your best night, longest streak and clean nights.
- 8
- boats to bring home, from a rowing boat to an October ghost ship
- 5
- lanes, one beam, and a bell for the ones that cannot see it
- 3
- boats lost and the night is called off
Before you tap
- Is it stressful?
- It is not meant to be. Mistime a tap and the boat does not sink, it stalls and comes round again. You can only really lose one by ignoring it, which is why it plays well at midnight.
- Is Lighthouse Nights free?
- Yes. It is free with ads between nights, never during one. A single £2.99 purchase removes every ad forever and is shared with your family.
- When is it out?
- Lighthouse Nights is finished and heading to the App Store and Google Play. Email [email protected] if you want to hear when it lands.
