About this app
Firefly Lantern Trail is a gentle one line path puzzle set in a soft dusk sky of pale purple and cream. Start on the glowing tile and drag. Your firefly trail follows along, waking every sleeping lantern it passes and growing brighter as more of the garden is covered. A board is complete when a single unbroken line has walked across every walkable tile. Lifting your finger never costs anything. The trail stays on the board as a dotted line and you simply continue from its glowing tip, or step back one tile at a time. There is no timer, no lives and no way to lose. One hundred and twenty boards start at a tiny three by three garden and grow slowly. Leaf tiles stay closed, bubble tiles can be walked twice, and rainbow gates carry the trail across the garden.

App details
What you can learn from FireflyLanternTrail
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are FireflyLanternTrail's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: FireflyLanternTrail runs a light set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #ECE4FC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #ECDC84, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
