Steel Flux Core

A vertical-screen, object-catching game themed around a nighttime celebration. You control a small paper-lantern boat on a tranquil pond, catching beams of light falling from the sky. Collect golden lanterns and stars to build up your combo, grab lucky coins to restore health, and dodge storm orbs—obstacles you must avoid at all costs.

One-handed controls: simply drag left or right to maneuver the boat and catch the falling light. Missing a lantern breaks your combo, while getting hit by a storm orb three times ends the game. The difficulty increases gradually with your score, ensuring a fast-paced yet fair experience in the later stages. The game supports pausing at any time, with options to resume or return to the main menu. High scores are saved directly to your device.

How to Play:
1. Select "Start Game" from the main menu. You can view "How to Play" at any time to review the rules. "Exit Game" ends the current session.
2. Drag across the screen to move the boat within the pond scene. Catch golden lanterns, stars, and coins.
3. Avoid storm orbs. Catching one costs a life and resets your combo count.
4. Catching items in succession boosts your combo and score. Missing a lantern resets the combo count.
5. Once you run out of lives, you can view your score, restart, or return to the main menu.
