Lanternmoth Independent games studio

Small games,
made carefully.

Things you can finish in a sitting and want to come back to the next day. Two of them so far, both made by the same hands.

Everything here is made by the same hands, start to finish.

Made to come back to

Short enough to finish in a sitting, and there again tomorrow.

The games

Four Down

A small crossword every day, solved on your own. Below it, a dungeon you go down into with up to three friends — four chambers and a Door, and a new floor every Thursday.

  • iPhone
  • In TestFlight
Today's mini, with the dungeon waiting below it. A five by five grid half solved, finished words in green. A floor's lobby: a room code to share and four places in the party.

Thumb Arcade

Five small games in one app, each played with one thumb and short on purpose — a shield with everything coming at it, a stack you keep level, a coin you stop as close to the edge as you dare, and a rope you swing across a canyon.

Privacy

The five games, listed. Deflect: the shield turned against a dart, with the steering dial below and the radar in the corner. Teeter: a perfect drop on the beam, the next pieces waiting below. Edge: coins clustered by the lip, a pot of 74 at five times, ready to bank. Avalanche: a snowball rolling down a moonlit ridge. Grapple: a round orange swinger on a rope to a golden hook, over a lava canyon at sunset.

Aether Run

A courier running the threadways between the floating isles of Vael, one swipe at a time, with the Hush unravelling the sky behind you. Vault off an island’s rim and keep running on its underside, upside down.

  • In TestFlight
  • Endless runner

Privacy

Wren, the courier, waiting on a sandstone threadway, with today's missions and the daily Threadway above. Running between floating islands with a trail of aether motes ahead. A Clean Flip: running upside down on an island's underside.
