Lantern Ronin
One-Thumb Parry Duel
A lone ronin on a moonlit bridge. Enemies walk in from the left and the right and telegraph their strike, and the whole game is one decision: which side, and when. Tap early and you swing at nothing. Tap late and a lantern flame goes out. Three flames and the night is over.

Questions
How do you play Lantern Ronin?
Enemies walk onto the bridge from the left and the right and telegraph their strike. Tap the side one is striking from to parry it and cut them down. Tap early and you swing at nothing, tap late and a lantern flame goes out, and three flames end the night.
How long is a run?
A minute or two. Every ten cuts brings a darker night that strikes faster from both sides, and there is one Daily Duel with the same enemies in the same order for every player.
Is Lantern Ronin on iPhone and Android?
Both. It is on the App Store for iOS 15 and later, and on Google Play for Android.
Does Lantern Ronin cost anything?
No. It is free on both stores and the only ads are ones you choose to watch. Coins earned by cutting well unlock ten ronin to play as.
