Mothlight: Hold to Glow

Hold to glow. Release to vanish.

You are a moth crossing a dark marsh at night. Holding the screen lights your wings and lifts you. But your glow is also the bait: the longer you burn, the closer the swarm hunts. Let go and you fall through the dark, unseen but blind.

Mothlight is a one-thumb arcade night flight about a single tradeoff. Light is lift. Light is the lure. Every reed gate, every thorn hollow, every spark you chase asks the same question: how long do you dare to shine?

THE NIGHT

• One control. Hold anywhere to glow and rise, release to dive dark.
• The swarm reads your light. Burn bright and it closes in. Go dark and it loses the scent.
• Sparks drift through the reeds. Collect them to push the swarm back - if you can reach them.
• Reed gates, top thorns and bramble floors weave a different marsh every night.

THREE MOODS

• Calm: a slower marsh for learning the wings.
• Classic: the intended night.
• Feral: fast reeds, hungry swarm, for players who want teeth.

THE WORLD BOARD No account. No sign-up. Pick a nickname and your best night goes on the world board - one line per player, always your best. That is the whole system.

Quiet art, a humming glow, and a swarm that is always listening. Fly gently.

THE DAILY MARSH One seeded marsh each day, the same for every player. Unlimited tries until midnight, a daily board, and a share card that lets a friend fly the exact night you flew.

MOTHLIGHT FULL (OPTIONAL) A single small purchase removes the banner and unlocks cosmetic trails, glow colors, nest themes, a 30-day daily archive, and a personal ghost. Cosmetics never change the flight or the boards.
