About Lantern Hop
Lantern Hop is a one-tap timing game. Your little hopper hangs from a paper lantern that swings on its string, and each tap launches it upward with the swing's momentum. Reach the next lantern and you grab on; mistime it and you drop into the dark. Catching a lantern right at its centre counts as a perfect catch and builds a streak worth bonus points.
As you climb, the lanterns swing faster, hang further apart and start drifting on the breeze, and a light wind begins to push your jumps sideways. Every layout is checked so the next lantern can always be reached, which means a fall is always about timing, never luck. The first few hops show a faint trajectory line while you learn how the swing carries you.
How to play
Tap, click, or press Space, Enter or the up arrow to let go and jump. Time it so the swing carries you towards the next lantern. P pauses.
Tips
- Jump as the swing moves towards the next lantern, not away from it.
- Watch the wind arrow and lead your jump into it.
- Perfect catches come from jumping a moment before the swing's fastest point.
