Mothman Mail

Mothman Mail is a side-scrolling arcade game where you play as the legendary Mothman doing his real job — delivering late-night packages. Fly through small-town West Virginia at midnight, drop glowing parcels on porch lights, and dodge blinding streetlights and camera flashes from tourists who definitely aren't supposed to be out this late.

How to Play

Guide Mothman left and right across the screen, dropping mail onto the glowing porch lights of houses below. Avoid streetlights and camera flashes — they disorient Mothman and cost a wing. Lose all three wings and the shift ends.

• Keyboard: ◀ / A move left, ▶ / D move right, Space drop a package.
• Mouse: move the cursor to steer, click to drop packages.
• Touch: drag left/right to steer, tap to drop.
• Wings (lives) are shown in the top HUD — three to start. Each collision costs one.

Tips & Strategy

• Drop packages early. Account for Mothman's forward momentum — release the package slightly before you're directly above the target.
• Stay high. Flying near the top of the screen gives you more reaction time to dodge incoming obstacles.
• Camera flashes are brief but bright. If you see a tourist, veer wide — the flash radius is wider than it looks.
• Prioritise houses that are clustered together. Sweeping across a row of porches in one pass is faster than zigzagging back and forth.
