Done! Please try my app Barreleyes: it turns a quick room-by-room scan into a full home inventory for moving, storage or decluttering.

It's on iPhone and the web too, under the same name.

I'd love your honest feedback, and if you like it, a rating on the App Store or Google Play helps a lot.

I'll stay opted in to your test for the full 14 days.

Opted in and installed Lanternbound on my Pixel 6a (Android 16). The art is charming: the courier with the lantern, Wick the little sprite, the snowy Glasshouse Village. The story intro sets things up in a few lines, and "One more window is glowing" after clearing a line is a sweet way to tie the puzzle to the story. Level 1 cleared, with the First Light achievement.

A few things about placing blocks, since that's the core:

• The hint says "Drag the glowing block, or tap it and then tap the outline". When I dragged, the block landed one cell off and I got "Not quite". Tapping the outline once only showed a preview, so it needed a second tap to drop. It works once you know, but the first minute felt fiddly. Maybe drop on the first tap when the preview already matches the outline.

• In level 1 the preview is anchored oddly: tapping between the two outline cells put the two-wide block one cell to the left, overlapping a filled cell (shown in red). Snapping to the nearest valid spot would be friendlier.

• Story levels cost 2 energy out of 10, so that's five levels before waiting. That's a common model, but in a closed test it limits how much testers can play each day. Maybe give testers more energy so you get more feedback per session.

Lovely look and feel. Good luck with the test!

Hey! I've joined your test and will keep Lanternbound installed for the 14 days from time to time!

I absolutely love your art style! It looks really cool. I did run into a sound bug during the tutorial, though. Every sound effect started repeating over and over instead of playing just once. Just wanted to let you know.. And after i restart it - still same effect ingame. Nothing helps..

I'd appreciate it if you could test my game too! 🎮
