in the dark.

Include your game version, device model, operating-system version and what happened. Screenshots can help. Please leave out passwords, payment details and device identifiers.
How do I aim the light?
Drag the control beneath the lighthouse to rotate the beam. Hold the light on creatures to damage them. Travelling shots can be burned away; boss shots need sustained light. Watch for fast flankers and armored shells.
What happens if I leave during a level?
Your current level, earned salvage and permanent upgrades stay saved on your device. When you return, you begin a fresh attempt at that level with full health. Temporary boosts do not carry into a new attempt automatically.
Can I change my boost?
Yes. Before starting, tap your selected boost to undo it, or choose another boost and confirm the swap. The price difference is shown. One temporary boost can be used per level. Once the fight starts, a used boost cannot be refunded, but you can still buy a boost if your slot is empty.
How does the shield work?
Your lighthouse begins at 100% health. Buying a shield adds a separate 20% protection that absorbs damage before the lighthouse. A shield does not repair existing damage. Permanent light and reach upgrades improve your beacon between attempts.
Why did a video not give me a reward?
A video reward is granted only when the ad provider reports that it was earned. Closing early may not earn it. Ads depend on internet access and availability. If an earned reward cannot be saved, use the on-screen retry to complete the save safely. Starting or replaying a level does not require an available video.
How does revive work?
You can revive once per attempt using the displayed salvage price or an available rewarded video. Revive restores full lighthouse health at the same combat position and time. The game uses a three-second countdown before the fight resumes.
Can I recover progress on another device?
Last Lighthouse currently saves progress on the device and does not provide a login or cross-device cloud-save service. Clearing app data can remove progress. Device backups may behave differently, so contact support before clearing data to troubleshoot a save issue.
Where are sound, motion and privacy controls?
Open Settings to adjust music, effects, haptics and reduced motion. Required advertising privacy options appear there when the consent service makes them available. The privacy policy explains the game's data practices.
