Boats are sailing in from every side towards the reef round your lighthouse. Each tap swings the beam one notch, and every boat the beam passes over turns away safely. Choose the way round that saves the most boats, and keep turning the same way to build your streak.
👆 Tap left half to turn anticlockwise · right half for clockwise ← All gamesLighthouse puts you in the lamp room at the top of a striped tower on a rocky islet. A ring of reef rocks surrounds the tower, and small boats come in from the horizon on every side, sailing straight for it. Each tap swings the beam one notch round the sea: tap the left half of the screen to turn anticlockwise, or the right half to turn clockwise. Any boat in a sector the beam passes over is lit. A lit boat sees the rocks and turns back for harbour. Any boat that reaches the reef unlit runs aground, and after three wrecks the lamp goes dark.
The beam lights everything on its way, not just the sector where it stops, so the real decision is which way round to go. Chasing the closest boat can mean sweeping back over water that is already clear, while the far side fills up. Hull colours show how much time each boat has left: green is safe, amber is closing, red is nearly on the rocks. If you keep turning in the same direction your streak grows, up to four times the points. Reversing the beam resets it. Lighting a boat in the last stretch before the reef pays double, so the greedy play is to save a boat as late as you dare.
At 25 points a fog bank starts drifting round the sea, and later a second one joins it. A boat inside the fog can't see a passing sweep. You have to stop the beam on its sector for half a second, while boats elsewhere keep sailing in.
