FLARE — One-Thumb Arcade

You are a BEACON in the deep dark. Void Moths are drawn to your light — tap to FLARE. Moths caught in the inner ring are destroyed. Moths in the outer ring are PUSHED back. Destroyed moths leave EMBER MOTES that drift toward you — collect them to refuel your LIGHT METER. Let your light die, and the moths will overrun you. The risk/reward core: wait for moths to cluster close = bigger combos & proximity bonuses, but one wrong flare and they breach your core. 3 enemy types (Moth, Luna zigzag, Cinder explode). Waves escalate. Local high scores saved. Neon fire aesthetic on deep space.
