About this game

Hop between fading light pools, feed your lantern with fireflies, and outlast the curious Gloom Puffs in Flickerlight, a spooky browser games survival challenge with daily gardens and a gentle night mode.

How to play

  1. Move with WASD or arrow keys, or hold and drag anywhere on the field.
  2. Stand inside a glowing light pool to stay safe — Gloom Puffs cannot enter it.
  3. Hop to a fresh pool before yours flashes FADING and goes out.
  4. Catch fireflies to refill your lantern light and earn sparks.
  5. Survive 60 seconds until dawn breaks to win; lose all hearts and the dark wins.

Tips

  • Move early: leave a pool while it still has a few seconds left, not after it starts flashing.
  • A Gloom Puff lingering at your pool's edge sizzles away on its own — let the light do the work.
  • Fireflies are worth chasing: each one refills lantern light and pays a spark toward new lanterns.
  • In Gentle Night the Gloom Puffs are slower and you get five hearts — learn the garden there first.
