Ember Drop

Light every lantern on the hill, one falling ember at a time.

Ember Drop is a calm little physics puzzle. Slide your dropper across the night sky, let go at the right moment, and watch the ember bounce down through the pegs. Land it in a lantern and the meadow lights up a little more.

How to play

• Move the dropper along the top of the screen
• Let an ember fall when you like the angle
• Every lantern lit brings you closer to the next level
• Missed? Embers are free, so try another line

What's inside

• 10 levels to unlock, with up to 3 stars each, from Dusk Meadow to the Ember Crown
• A boon between levels: choose 1 of 3, like Laser Sight, Twin Drop or Steel Core, and build your run
• Bounce combos: every bounce raises the stakes and heats the ember, from Nice! to Blazing! But the points only count if it lands in a lantern
• Lanterns with a temper: iron takes two embers, frost melts under a hot one, gold pays best
• A world that moves: bricks crumble, arrows flip, bumpers kick
• Playground: every level open, endless embers, nothing to lose. Just try things
• Crisp pixel art, silly little sounds and fireworks when the hill lights up
