Thornlight is a slower, atmospheric arcade adventure about carrying light through a living night. Gather sparks, linger inside ancient flower rings to wake them, and dash through the shadows before dawn arrives.


Every cleared garden opens a new one. Brambles choke later routes, orbiting shadows cut off easy escapes, crosswinds shove you off course, fog hides danger, and armoured sentinels demand two perfect hits. Chase three-star clears and faster times, or simply restore all 21 gardens at your own pace.
