Where can I play Mottle?
Play in the game window on our home page. The game loads inside this site, so you can stay here from start to finish.
How do I begin?
Wait for the game window to finish loading, then use the start control shown inside it. If it takes longer than expected, refresh this page once.
How do I move and hide?
Drag with a mouse or finger to move. Release to freeze and blend into the ground. For a first route, make short moves toward fireflies and stop before a Seeker’s light reaches you.
What does the Alert meter do?
It shows your danger when Seekers notice you. Avoid staying exposed in a light cone. Watch the meter and the moving lights before chasing another firefly.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes, try dragging with one finger and releasing to hide. You can rotate your phone for a wider view and use the expand control below the game window.
How do I pause or restart?
Use the controls shown inside the game. Their placement may vary by device. Refreshing the page reloads the entire game window.
Do I need to download anything?
No. The game runs in the browser inside the home page’s game frame.
