About:
Lantern Ski is an original downhill survival game in the spirit of the 2000s Flash classics, made in-house for Leetdom. A small lantern courier is carrying the last warm spark across a dusk mountain. The slope never stops: drag to carve across the snow, slip between candlepines and stone teeth, gather loose sparks, pass between paired lanterns, and aim for curved snowdrifts that launch the courier over cracks and hazards. A close pass builds the score multiplier, but each collision puts out one of three flames. When the final flame goes dark, the run ends and one tap begins a fresh descent.
The mountain changes as the distance climbs. The welcoming Candlepine Descent gives way to the Moonglass Shelf, Violet Hollow, and finally the Pale Reach. Speed and obstacle density rise smoothly, while moving snow rollers and ice cracks join the terrain later in the run, and lone trees start growing in the line of a courier who stops carving. Distance, gates, sparks, near passes and jumps all score; sustained clean lines hold a multiplier up to five times. Longer runs unlock three additional courier coats at 1,500, 3,000 and 4,800 metres, and the best score and longest descent are kept on the device.
Every scene is drawn in canvas and every sound is synthesised in the browser. There are no downloaded images, fonts, music, sound files, analytics, advertisements or network calls.
