The city has gone dark. Three beacons are waiting for their last delivery.

Lantern Velocity is a portrait arcade game about speed and control. Collect light parcels, weave through traffic and restore three beacons before the 75-second clock expires. Hold to slow the road; release to race. Your focus is limited, and the mission clock never slows.

HOW TO PLAY

Touch / mouse: drag left and right to steer. Hold to time-brake; release to accelerate.

Keyboard: arrows or A / D steer, Space brakes, P or Escape pauses.

Collect two light parcels per beacon. Protect your three shields. Ride again for a better score.

MADE FOR SLAPJAM #2: SPEED
