Leap a little ember of light up between the towering shelves of a night library, toward the stars.
A fast, one-button climber through a vast library at night.
You are a small ember of warm light. Leap from shelf to shelf up between two towering bookcases, carrying your glow through the dark and the mist, toward the starry glass dome far above. The view keeps rising, so keep leaping: fall behind and your light goes out.
How to play
- Tap to leap straight across to the other shelf, always at the same upward angle.
- Tap again in mid-air to turn and leap the other way. You get one turn per leap.
- Waiting on a shelf is safe; only the rising view pushes you on.
Watch out for
- Books and candles jutting from the shelves. Touching them puts your light out.
- Long stacks of books: their red corners and spiked undersides are sharp, but their flat face and top are safe to land on.
- Higher up, a sleepy cat. Its eyes open and a red mark appears just before its paw swipes out.
Climb through five wings of the library, one every 100 m: the Lower Stacks, the Map Archive, the Whispering Gallery, the Clock Loft and the Star Dome. The first stretch lets you find your rhythm, then the shelves get busier and the climb gets faster.
