MOTHLIGHT

V1.5.5 — Standalone Web Build

MOTHLIGHT is a neon survival roguelite about movement, risk, and greed.

What’s new

• Standalone browser build — all game code is bundled into one HTML file for faster and more reliable loading on itch.io.
• Momentum-based movement — your moth accelerates, turns, and drifts smoothly through the night.
• Physical light tail — every Light follows with delayed motion and becomes part of your weapon.
• Whip combat — hold and release your movement to swing the tail and strike enemies.
• Three Light types — Ember burns, Frost slows, and Storm chains lightning.
• Moon Well banking — secure your Light, shorten your tail, and protect your gains.
• Deeper regions — danger and rewards increase together.
• Tail-cutting enemies — enemies can sever your tail and scatter Light on the ground.
• Daily Eclipse and challenge modes — fixed seeds, special rules, and local leaderboards.
• Moon Shards and cosmetics — secure Light to unlock new tail styles and moth appearances.
• Five-minute escape — leave safely with your secured gains, or keep pushing for a higher score.
