Place lightning bugs so every garden path glows, no two bugs can see each other, and every numbered stone has exactly that many bugs beside it. Tap a path to set a lightning bug; it lights its row and column until a stone gets in the way. Light every path, make sure no two bugs can see each other, and give every numbered stone exactly that many bugs beside it. When the last path glows, the whole garden turns gold. ## **How to play Lightning Bugs** 1. Tap a path to place a lightning bug. It lights up, down, left and right until a stone. 2. Every path must be lit. 3. No two bugs may see each other along a row or column. 4. A numbered stone needs exactly that many bugs touching its sides. 5. Hold a path to mark "no bug here" for yourself. ## **What's inside ** - Gardens from 6×6 to 9×9, with more stones and tighter corners as you go - A new Daily Garden every night, with a streak and a shareable result - Three jars per garden: a bug that sees another, or over-fills a stone, costs one - A live "lit" percentage and a gold glow when the garden is done - A no-hint streak and a best time for every size - Night mode only, by design - Plays offline, no account needed ## **Lightning Bugs screenshots ** - - - - - - ## **Lightning Bugs questions ** ## **More games like Lightning Bugs** ![Even Paws banner](https://nytegames.com/images/games/even-paws/banner-light.webp) **Even Paws** **Balance cats and dogs in rows** A cozy logic puzzle.
