MOTE

LAST SPARK IN THE DARK

HOW TO PLAY

You are a mote of light surrounded by the dark. Survive as long as you can.

Move around — your weapons fire on their own. Kill enemies to drop cyan XP motes; walk over them (or rely on your magnet pull) to fill the XP bar. Each level lets you pick one upgrade from three random cards — either a new weapon, a weapon level-up, or a passive boost.

SURVIVAL TIPS

→
Keep moving. Enemies are slower than you — circle them and let your weapons work.
→
Pick weapon variety early; one maxed weapon falls behind two solid ones late-game.
→
Watch for orange rushers at 1 min, purple brutes at 2 min, green splitters at 3 min.
→
Stack magnet and XP gain for faster levels — but you'll need damage to keep up.
