[squad:plan] Mothlight: lantern-guiding moth puzzle game plan #69689
Description
Concept
Mothlight is a small single-player 2D puzzle game. You control a lantern; a swarm of moths follows its light. Guide them through dark gardens to reach glowing flowers while avoiding spider webs, wind vents and bug zappers.
- Core loop: place/move lantern → moths drift toward light → light bends around mirrors/shades → all moths reach the flower → next level.
- Platform: Web (HTML5 canvas, TypeScript), desktop and mobile browsers; static hosting.
- Art/style: Dark-indigo palette, soft glow, silhouette foliage, minimal UI; colour-blind-safe accent colours.
- MVP features: 15 hand-authored levels, lantern drag, moth flocking sim (deterministic), mirrors, shades, webs, undo/restart, local save, keyboard/touch/mouse input.
Milestones
- M1 Prototype: lantern + flocking sim, one test level.
- M2 Vertical slice: mirrors, shades, hazards, 5 levels, art pass.
- M3 Playable demo: 15 levels, tutorial, deploy to static hosting.
