About this game

The Hawklight Cipher is a three-lane rhythm game where you strike falling gears as they cross the line to keep your lantern fueled during a deepening descent. Chains of clean hits decode ciphers and charge a Hawk Strike that clears a burst of notes automatically, while the fuel meter steadily drains and the tempo climbs through each level. Miss too much and the lantern dies; survive to reach the Abyss.
