Lantern Canals

About Lantern Canals

Lantern Canals is a relaxing sliding-path puzzle set in a lantern-lit water garden. Slide stone tiles to build a canal from the spring to the harbor gate, then watch the water flow and your paper boat sail the route you made. Every level hides three lanterns along the way, and a shortcut that finishes fast but leaves them dark, so plan your path before you connect it. Explore 100 levels across five gardens, from Moss Steps to Moon Harbor, plus a new daily canal to keep your streak alive.

How to play Lantern Canals

Touch and mouse (identical): drag a stone toward the gap; a short flick also works. Tapping a stone next to exactly one gap slides it in, and tapping a gap slides in its only movable neighbour. Keyboard: arrows/WASD slide the stone on the far side of the gap in that direction (sliding-puzzle style). Z/Backspace undoes, R restarts, H gives a hint, M mutes, Esc closes a panel, and Enter/Space goes to the next level on the results screen. Toolbar: undo, restart, hint, and skip (appears after 90 s or 2 restarts).
