VOLTBEETLE
You're a neon beetle chained to a pulsing core by an elastic energy tether. HOLD to reel yourself in and charge your orbit — RELEASE to slingshot across the arena and smash the glitch-bug swarm. 90 seconds, 3 hearts, one button. How big can you chain your combo?
HOW IT PLAYS
- HOLD (mouse, touch, or SPACE) — reel the tether in. Your orbit tightens and your speed climbs.
- RELEASE — the tether extends and you slingshot outward across the arena.
- Touch a static bug while you're fast and it shatters: 100 × your combo.
- Touch one while you're slow — or clip the electric edge — and you lose a heart. You have 3.
- Chain smashes to grow your combo, but it fades if 3 seconds pass without a smash.
DAILY SWARM
Every calendar day seeds a fresh wave pattern — same swarm for everyone, once per day.
