LIGHTBAIT

You're a moth. The lights are beautiful. This is a problem.

LIGHTBAIT is a fast-paced 3D arcade roguelite built around one deceptively simple decision: do you risk another orbit, or get out while you still can?

Guide a small, light-obsessed moth through a strange, dark fairy-tale world. Circle glowing lights to gather momentum and rack up points, then release at just the right moment to launch towards your next temptation.

Every orbit makes the reward sweeter. Every extra second brings you closer to burning out.

A LITTLE GREED GOES A LONG WAY

Staying near a light means more momentum, bigger scores, and greater danger. Knowing when to leave is easy in theory. Actually leaving? That's another matter.

BUILD YOUR OWN KIND OF TROUBLE

Choose upgrades throughout your run and experiment with different playstyles. Chase dangerous rewards, maintain your flow, or master precise timing to squeeze more points out of every opportunity.

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO MAKE BAD DECISIONS

Travel through an atmospheric 3D world of mysterious rooms, forgotten gardens, and strange lights waiting in the darkness.

Short runs, quick restarts, and an ever-tempting high score make it very easy to say, "Just one more try."
