Nice mechanics, polished graphics, needs some audio feedback to support you in the dark.
Also the moth is really slow.

the moth mode is more for identifying bullet locations than actually being used to dodge the bullets, thanks for playing!

I really like the concept and it was pretty fun to play. The main issue for me was the moth gameplay, I was frustrated switching to the moth because it was really slow to maneuver, so I used it only to see incoming enemies and projectiles, but at times I found myself wanting to see the projectiles from afar so I was confident I could dodge them, but I was really slow and I ended up getting hit.

Overall I enjoyed the experience!

If it helps, this is how I play the game. I'm not sure if you meant this already but I typically flash the light. Really, you only want to be in flight long enough to gauge the direction the bullets are moving towards and then instantly switch back to dodge and continue shooting.

Thanks for playing!
