Eat the light. Grow legs. Bite the dark.
Worm. Newt. Lizard.
Every meal of light makes you longer. Six meals and you shed your skin into a newt with hind legs. Fifteen, and you're a lizard: four legs and a tongue that tastes the air.

Chain the light
Light is 10 points, an egg 25. Eat again within 2.4 seconds and the combo climbs to ×5. Catch a rare sun and it pulls every light nearby to you for six seconds.
Then the dark comes
After twenty seconds, shades drift after you, more and faster as the run goes on. Hit ⚡ to dash away, and mid-dash, bite them back.
Night or day
A neon night or a sunlit meadow. It follows your phone, or pick one in the settings.

Questions
How do I steer?
Drag anywhere: a stick appears under your thumb and the head turns toward it. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or WASD.
What does ⚡ do?
A dash: a burst of speed that recharges in about two seconds. Space does it on a keyboard. Mid-dash, your head bites shades.
When does the worm become a lizard?
After six meals it sheds into a newt with hind legs. After fifteen it's a lizard, with four legs and a tongue. An egg counts as two meals.
What ends a run?
A wall, your own body, or a shade. There's one life per run, and the game over screen says which it was.
Is there a dark mode?
It follows your phone: a neon night or a sunlit meadow. You can also choose Light or Dark in the settings.
Does it collect anything?
No. Your best score, runs, longest lizard and shades bitten stay on your device, and nothing is sent anywhere. It plays offline.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ads, no in-app purchases and no account to make.
