Why we made it this way

Lantern Sky is a slow, quiet game for low moments. Each tap sends a paper lantern up from the lake with a short kind note that stays readable for about 3 seconds, then fades into a star that stays. We wrote 60 notes and shuffle them each visit, so none repeat in a session.

There's no score and nothing to lose. A short 0.45 s pause between lanterns means even fast tapping lets you read every note. As the stars fill the sky it darkens from dusk to night, and after 12 they join into a constellation with a soft chord. The sky blends a dusk palette with your mood's colours.

Tap, click or press Space to release a lantern. It is a gentle way to receive a kind note online, and the lantern-festival feel makes it a fire-free virtual sky lantern for Diwali or any evening you want a little light, for kids and adults alike.

• 😌 Calm: Drifting lights, a still lake and soft chimes. A peaceful way to slow right down.
