Features: - Simple one-tap orbit switching - 30 handcrafted difficulty steps generated from stable level rules - Cozy night-forest art with soft glowing effects - Local progress, stars, and settings - Music and sound controls - Fast retry, level select, pause, and result feedback Perfect for short sessions, Glowbug Grove blends calm woodland atmosphere with crisp arcade timing.
