Momo
The comet
Small, bright, permanently in orbit. Steers between three rings and eats fruit.
Momo runs a fixed orbit around a small bright star, and the only decision is which of three rings to be in — inner, middle, outer. Everything else arrives on its own schedule: starfruit to gobble, glitch mines to miss, shields worth chasing.
Skimming a mine instead of eating it is worth more than playing safe, which is the whole tension. Near misses feed the charge meter, and a full meter buys a pulse that clears the screen — so the greedy line and the survivable line are the same line, right up until they are not.
The orbit cycles through named events that quietly rewrite the rules underneath you: fruit starts arriving in pairs, or the mines multiply and pay better for it.
What's in it
- Three orbital lanes and exactly one decision, made constantly
- Near-misses pay: skimming a glitch mine charges the pulse faster than avoiding it
- Rotating missions — gobble starfruit, skim mines, build a clean combo, pulse-pop mines
- Bubble shields, charge pickups and a fever state when the combo holds
- Two ways in: Standard at full arcade speed, or Guided Practice at 60% with hazard choices untimed
- Keyboard, touch and gamepad, with adjustable sound, reduced-motion options and scores kept locally
