Lantern Canals

About Lantern Canals

Lantern Canals offers a peaceful puzzle experience set in serene, lantern-lit water gardens. Players rearrange stone tiles to form an unbroken canal connecting a spring to a harbor gate, guiding a paper boat gently along the waterway they've created. Each level presents the challenge of balancing efficient routes with the goal of uncovering hidden lanterns along the path. With 100 thoughtfully designed levels across five distinct garden themes and a daily puzzle to enjoy, the game encourages careful planning and quiet problem-solving. Its smooth sliding mechanics and calming atmosphere make it a perfect choice for fans of relaxing, brain-training puzzle games that combine logic with a touch of tranquility.

How to Play

Touch and mouse (identical): drag a stone toward the gap; a short flick also works. Tapping a stone next to exactly one gap slides it in, and tapping a gap slides in its only movable neighbour. Keyboard: arrows/WASD slide the stone on the far side of the gap in that direction (sliding-puzzle style). Z/Backspace undoes, R restarts, H gives a hint, M mutes, Esc closes a panel, and Enter/Space goes to the next level on the results screen. Toolbar: undo, restart, hint, and skip (appears after 90 s or 2 restarts).
