Play Wake the Dragon

A fox with a burning tail and a garden full of dark lanterns.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

Red torii gates, a still pond and pink petals: the shrine garden is lovely, and every lantern in it is dark. You play a little fox whose tail is on fire, and that flame is how you light them. Run the stone paths, jump up the steps and touch fire to each lantern before the clock runs out. Wake the Dragon is a fox 3d platformer built from blocks, and you play it in the Roam app on iPhone.

Lighting the shrine

Drag on the left to run.
Tap the arrow button to jump.
Tap the flame button next to a lantern to light it.
Follow the distance marker to the next lantern.
Light them all before the timer ends.

How it compares to other fox platformer games

Foxes star in plenty of platformers, usually as quick heroes who jump on things. This fox has a job beyond jumping: every run is about reaching lanterns and lighting them in time.

The voxel look is unusual too. Everything is built from blocks, from the gate posts to the flowers, which makes the garden look like a little diorama you are running through.

Tips for a fox 3d platformer on a timer

Follow the marker. It shows the distance to the next lantern, so you do not waste seconds looking around.

Light first, collect second. Pickups are nice, but the lanterns are the goal, and the clock does not stop for flowers. Once the last lantern is lit, you can relax and admire the shrine.

A calm pick for new players

Players who like gentle platformers with a pretty setting. The garden is small and calm, and the timer is the only thing pushing you.

It also suits younger players or anyone new to 3D games: three buttons, one clear goal and a marker that always points to the next lantern. Short runs make it easy to try a level again.
