Vesperwing

About

A moth drawn to the last light finds the night full of teeth. Vesperwing is a vertical bullet-hell: waves of mites, weavers and lancers throw curtains of fire down a narrow arena, and you thread them with a hitbox the size of a heartbeat.

Hold FOCUS to slow to a crawl and graze bullets a hair's width away — each near-miss is points, and grazing feeds the chain: kills stack a multiplier up to ×4 on everything you score, and the dead pay their way down in power-ups. When the screen turns solid, spend a bomb to wipe it clean. Auto-fire keeps your hands free for the only thing that matters: not being where the bullets are.

Ten waves climb into the dark. The Duskherald bars the midpoint with scything cross-sweeps, and past it the Nightwidow herself descends — a fanged moth with three telegraphed patterns that only get crueller below half health. Break her, and the night is yours.

Highlights

• Tiny hitbox, big screen, hold-to-focus dodging

• Chain kills up to ×4; power-ups spill from the dead
• The Duskherald at the midpoint, the Nightwidow at the end
• Bombs clear the screen and dent the boss
• Bullet contrast and hitbox aids in a full settings menu
