A NOTE BEFORE YOU GO
The light isn't the only thing to watch.
Give the Camo meter time to build. A last-second stop can leave you more visible than you think.

All questionsWhat is Mottle Game?
Mottle - Hide & Seek is a camouflage survival game by Star Lord, published on 8x.gg. Move to collect fireflies, release your input to blend into the ground, and avoid the Seekers' light cones.
How do I hide from the Seekers?
Stop moving and let your character blend into the colour beneath it. Moving makes you visible, so leave yourself time to become camouflaged before a light cone reaches you. Watch the Camo and Alert meters.
Can I play Mottle on my phone?
The game uses touch-friendly drag-and-release controls. Open the original game on 8x.gg in a modern mobile browser. Device support and any sign-in or access prompts are managed by the platform.
Do I need to download an APK?
The browser version opens online, so a separate Mottle APK is not needed to access it. The creator's listing also links to the 8x platform app. That app is different from a standalone Mottle installer. See our browser and mobile guide.
