About the game
Glow Cave is a platformer set in caves so dark that you only see what your lantern lights. Lumi the mouse carries a jar of glowing moss, and the flame slowly burns down as you explore. Touch fresh glow moss to brighten it again, collect the three gems hidden in each cave, and reach the crystal gate before the light goes out.
The catch is the moths. They are drawn to light, and the bigger your glow, the farther away they notice you. When one reaches you it steals a bite of light and flutters off. Hold DIM to cover the lantern: the moths lose your trail and the flame burns slower, but you can barely see the next ledge. The 25 caves grow longer and busier with moths.
