◈ Collect motes — the tiny glowing dots. Each is score + a coin. Chain them for a combo multiplier. Gold motes = jackpot.
◈ Dodge the swarm — the big orbs chase whoever's closest. A hit costs a life (3 to start) and flings you back. Lose all 3 and you're out.
◈ Grab powerups — Shield, Speed, Magnet, Freeze, Nova blast, Phase, 2× Score, and Jam (slows your rival).
◈ Dash to escape (short cooldown) — your skill move.
◈ It gets harder every second. More hunters, faster, nastier.
◈ Online: one player hosts, the other scans the QR / opens the link on their phone. One joystick per phone.
Set it up any way you like — input mode, on-screen layout, and keys are all editable.
Move the joystick & dash button anywhere you want.
Turn these down if flashing or shaking is uncomfortable. Reduced-motion system settings are picked up automatically.
Turn this off and the game never contacts a server. Online 2-player still works — it connects straight to the other device.
