Lampblack

提灯

Only what the light touches is real. Set down your lamp, and the bridge appears.

How it plays

The lamp in your hand lights only the tile under your feet. Set it down and the flame opens up, lighting everything within two tiles — and the light-bridges, steps and doors there become real. To cross a dark bridge you have to leave the lamp behind and walk into the dark.

Shades are afraid of light — light pushes them away, even off the edge. Stillfolk move toward you only while they stand in the dark, and turn to stone the moment light reaches them. Lift the lamp and the bridge beneath them is gone.

Every level shows the fewest moves; match it for a star. Undo is unlimited, and the hint asks the solver for your next move. The daily puzzle is the same for everyone each day and gets harder through the week, with a Sunday special.
