Moth Hour

Your light is your health. Survive until dawn.

You’re a small moth drifting through a dark meadow, and your glow does everything. It automatically burns any bug that drifts inside the light, pulses with a periodic flare for burst damage, and doubles as your health. Every hit shrinks the glow, which also shrinks your weapon range, so the more you’re hurt, the less you can fight back. Kills and dust motes restore a little light, and rare lamp flowers bring back more.

How to play: just move. Tap or hold anywhere, or use the arrow keys / WASD. Your light attacks by itself. Kills drop dust motes that fill your XP bar, and each level-up lets you pick 1 of 3 upgrades. Gnat swarms, tanky beetles, dart-moths and curving wasps come at you, and at 4:00 the Owl Shadow sweeps the screen before the final rush to sunrise.

Survive to dawn for a score multiplier, or go dark and retry instantly. Your best score is saved.
