"utoñ — the word means "shooting" in Ibibio — is a fast, one-thumb arcade duel. You're a lone guardian. Your enemy is a masquerade spirit that has slipped loose and is rising in cities across the world. Hold your ground, fire your light upward, and weave through the spirit-fire raining down.

## About the game
You pilot a lone hero at the bottom of the screen who **fires automatically**. Above you
hovers a masquerade boss that hovers, dives, and unleashes bullet patterns. Your only job
is to **move and survive** — drag your finger (or mouse) to weave through the danger. Bring
the boss down and you advance to the next world stage; the masquerade returns, tougher,
somewhere new.
It's designed to be **instantly playable on any phone**, with no install, no tutorial, required to start.

- **Collect drops** for power-ups, gems and credits.
- **Tap your control buttons** (bomb, shield, extra life) when you're in trouble.
