Start with 5 fireflies. End with thousands. You are the firefly queen, and the world has gone dark. Steer with one thumb while your swarm hunts the shadows by itself. Every kill drops light. Every level gives you a new mutation. Find the right mix and you unlock hidden synergies that set the whole screen on fire. Fire, Storm, Life, Swarm and Light. Stack them and mix them to find combos like Supernova, Wildfire, Tempest and Hivemind, each with its own look. Drag anywhere to move.
