The Sun has disappeared, and a permanent cloak of night has been cast over the skies. The people of the land deposit the light of their hope on tiny lanterns and send them to the sky, praying that their efforts will be heard by the heavens. Will the lanterns be able to unite and ascend, or will all be cloaked in shadow?

Guide your lantern through where the Sun was last seen rising, and gather other stranded lanterns to ascend to the sky together!

Fly - control your lantern smoothly in between branches!
Illuminate - light the way and fend off the shadows, light shall prevail!
Unite - as one, the cluster becomes stronger, allowing you to reach new areas!
Attack - engage a light burst capable of vanquishing enemies!
