Description

A daily logic puzzle to lighten your day. Place lighthouses to light every cell on the grid. No two may share a row, share a column, or touch in adjacent spaces, not even diagonally. Simple to learn, surprisingly hard to master. A new 8x8 puzzle every day at midnight PST, hundreds of hand-rated practice levels across four difficulty tiers, and an endless Unlimited mode against the clock. Build your daily streak and share it with friends. GAME MODES Daily Challenge A brand-new puzzle every day at 12:00 AM PST, alternating between 8x8 and 9x9 grids. Solve it to grow your streak. Share your result. Practice Hundreds of puzzles across four difficulty tiers: 4x4 Noob warm-ups, 5x5 Pro grids, 6x6 Expert puzzles, and 7x7 Genius brain-burners. Every level is hand-rated by a constraint solver, so the difficulty curve is smooth and fair. Unlimited An endless run against a 60-second clock. Each puzzle you solve refills 20 seconds back on the timer, capped at 60. Puzzles get progressively tougher as your run climbs. How long can you keep the clock alive? HOW TO PLAY Every puzzle has the same four rules: - Place exactly one lighthouse in each colored region. - Beams shine the full length of the row and column from each lighthouse. - No two lighthouses may share a row, share a column, or touch in adjacent spaces, including diagonally. - Every cell must be lit by at least one beam. If you get stuck, spend a hint to place the hardest remaining lighthouse. Hints come from optional in-app purchase packs, or you can watch a short rewarded ad for a free one. WHY YOU WILL LIKE IT Pure logic. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, reachable through deduction alone. No guessing required. No ads in the way. Ads only appear when you actively tap to watch one in exchange for a free hint. Never interruptive. Respectful of your time. No account required. No daily-login slot-machine. Just puzzles. Beautiful and fast. A clean dark theme by default, with a light theme one tap away. Built to feel instant on any iPhone. Made by one person. Designed, coded, and play-tested by a solo developer who cares too much about puzzle quality. If you find a flaw or have an idea, the email below reaches them directly.

Push past 20 solves and the wall starts pushing back, with 8x8 puzzles appearing in the highest tier. • Pause and resume Unlimited runs. Tap the new pause button to freeze the clock, hop to another mode, or close the app entirely. Your timer, score, and current puzzle restore exactly when you come back. • Daily challenges now alternate between 8x8 and 9x9 grids for extra variety. • Daily share buttons stay available after you've solved the daily, so you can share to multiple friends throughout the day. • Easy Mode for practice levels: an optional toggle that highlights cells where a lighthouse would conflict with one you've already placed. • Daily reminders: get the occasional friendly nudge to play the daily or beat your Unlimited high score. Turn them on or off any time with the bell in the top bar. • Redesigned home screen featuring your current streak and high score at a glance. • Sharing now opens the App Store directly so friends can install in one tap. • Reduce Motion support: if you have Reduce Motion enabled in iOS Settings, in-app animations are neutralized. • Various polish and bug fixes.
