The night the Great Prism went dark, its glow-notes scattered across twenty-five islands. Pip, a small yellow leaper, sets off with best friend Zest to catch every one back.

Lantern City is a rhythm game with no lanes and no scrolling bars. A marker lights up somewhere on the screen, a performer peeks out of the crowd and leaps to it, and you tap it the moment it lands. Right on the beat is PERFECT, a touch off is GOOD. Every catch turns over a piece of the picture hidden behind the stage.

How to play here: click or tap the performers as they land, or press Space.
