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.

WEAPONS (5 + 1 ult)

PULSE
Your starting weapon. Auto-fires motes at the nearest enemy.
ORBITERS
Glowing orbs spin around you, damaging anything they touch.
NOVA
Periodic radial shockwave damages everything around you.
ARC
Lightning chains from you between the nearest enemies.
SPEAR
Piercing spears launch outward in a spinning fan.
SONIC SCREAM [SPACE]
Manual ultimate. Charges over 30s. Hits every enemy on screen for 10–100% of their max HP.

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.
