Tips for a better score
- Press your next turn before you reach the junction. The direction waits and is taken the moment a corridor opens, so corners never need exact timing.
- The owls differ: Chase follows your cell, Ahead aims four cells in front of you, Roam wanders your way, and Corner only chases within five cells.
- The side tunnel wraps from edge to edge and owls crawl through it at about half speed, so it is the best place to shake off a close chase.
- After a moon-fruit, catch owls without pausing: 200, 400, 800 then 1,600. The pale spell runs eight seconds at level one and shortens as levels rise.
About Lantern Maze
Lantern Maze is a night chase through a hedge maze. You carry the lantern that lights the corridors, and the maze is cleared once every lantern along it is lit. Four owls hunt you from a hedged pen in the middle, each with its own rule: one follows your cell, one aims ahead of you, one wanders your way, one guards its corner until you come close. A moon-fruit turns all four pale and frightened, and catching them then pays 200, 400, 800 and 1,600. A side tunnel wraps from one edge to the other. Every maze is built fresh with no dead ends, and each one runs a little faster. Three lives.
