WHIRLIGHT
Swing a little light through a long night.
WHIRLIGHT is a physics action game about a little fox spirit and a lantern on a chain. Move to build momentum, swing through origami spirits, and strike or wrap around stone posts to kindle your iron lantern. Send paper bombs into crowds, break armored enemies, and time your moves around each boss.
After each wave, choose a blessing and discover hidden combinations. Unlock three additional lanterns with distinct abilities: a Temple Bell that releases shockwaves, Twin Moth Lamps that form damaging loops of light, and a Foxfire Lantern that flies out and returns.
- 15 waves across three zones, with three bosses
- Four lanterns and hidden blessing combinations
- Endless Night after victory
- Tonight’s Night: a daily challenge with shared waves and blessing choices
- Mouse, keyboard, and touch controls
- English, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Turkish, and Brazilian Portuguese text
