Metamorphosis

"Eat the poison. Wear the wings."

A two-phase bullet-hell roguelite, built solo in Godot 4 for SRIFOTON 2026.

Every dawn, the garden burns. A lineage of moths has five nights to produce something that can survive the morning. You are each generation in turn.

Spend sixty seconds in a dark garden as a larva, eating the toxic plants that are killing you — poison is the only thing that pays Marks, and Marks are your only weapons. Then pupate, socket those Marks into your wings, and fly seventy-five seconds of bullet-hell under a rising sun.

The health you pupate with becomes the hits your wings can take. Every extra bite is more power in the sky and less life to survive it. You make that call while a beetle is three seconds away and you still have half a mouthful left.

Five nights. Then the Dawn Herald.

WHAT'S IN IT

• Three Marks combine into 17 Wing Arts. Sting II + Razor I isn't more damage — it's Shrapnel Volley, a different ability with a different shape.
• Nine enemy types, each asking a different question, plus a four-phase boss.
• Draft cards, a Nectar shop, four difficulty settings, five optional curses, a Codex, and hidden Memory fragments.
• Lose a night, not the run. Die past the first night and you can take that night again with your run intact.
• English and Bahasa Indonesia.
