About the game
Lantern Glide is a calm but tricky climb. Your paper lantern carries a dormouse up a canyon at night, and the only way up is warm air: tap a candle on a ledge and a column of heat rises from it, lifting the lantern and drawing it toward the flame. Candles need a moment to recover, so you plan which ledge comes next.
The catch is the paper. Heat is lift, but past the red line on the gauge the lantern starts to scorch, and two stacked updrafts will burn holes fast. Scrapes on the canyon walls, thorny rocks and cold raindrops in the later canyons make it harder. Reach the sky with most of the paper intact for three stars.
