Cardume: The Stolen Light

CARDUME is a one-finger arcade game where you lead a living crowd of light. Faísca, a little golden lanternfish, follows your finger, and the school follows her light, swimming as one. 🌊 THE STOLEN LIGHT The Aurora, the ocean's heart of light, shattered into 20 shards, and the guardians of the deep each took one to light up their lair. The sea grew dark. Faísca dives sea after sea with her school to bring the light back. 🐟 THE SCHOOL IS YOUR LIFE The little fish protect Faísca: every bite takes one of them. Eat plankton to grow, dodge nets, jellyfish and vents, and release a pulse of light to scare the hunters away. Half the school must reach the bottom; bring almost all of them and the level is worth three stars. 🗺️ 20 SEAS, 400 LEVELS Coral Reef, Kelp Forest, Ice Sea, Jellyfish Fields, Sunken Wreck, Sunken City, Crystal Caves, Hydrothermal Vents, Whale Graveyard, Mariana Trench and many more, all the way to the Heart of the Abyss. Every sea has its own terrain, creatures and music. 👑 20 REAL BOSSES At the end of each sea, a guardian waits in its arena: the Lionfish shoots spines, the Giant Octopus sprays ink, the Tiger Shark charges, the Kraken sweeps with its tentacles and the Leviathan, the Light Eater, guards the last shard. Wait for the weak spot to glow and release your pulse. ✨ 5 LIGHT POWERS Each shard awakens a power: the dash, the bait ball, the light lure, the sonar that reveals the dark and the Aurora, a giant pulse that scares the whole sea. 🦪 HIDDEN PEARLS Three pearls per level, hidden in caves, kelp and shipwrecks. Trade them for upgrades and for new colors, trails and glows for your school. 📅 DAILY DIVE AND MISSIONS A fresh level every day, the same for everyone, with your own ghost swimming alongside. Plus missions and a daily gift. No sign-up. Plays offline. Breathe and dive.
