Play Moth Under the Big Top

Every act on the bill is a boss.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

The Juggler, a harlequin clown balanced on a flaming ball, rolls into the spotlight and starts throwing fire. You play a moth in the middle of the ring: dash when a gold flash warns of an attack, then fly in and strike back. Beat one act and the next steps up. If you are after games like Cuphead on mobile, this boss rush runs in the Roam app on iPhone, trading the cartoon side view for a moody 3D circus ring.

Games like Cuphead on mobile: where this one fits

Cuphead is a hand-drawn boss rush with a famous carnival stage and a nasty clown fight. Moth Under the Big Top shares the boss-rush rhythm: learn an act's pattern, dodge, punish, repeat. It does not copy Cuphead's 1930s cartoon look or its run-and-gun shooting.

Instead you get a dark red circus and close-range strikes. It is a lighter bite of the same idea, sized for a phone.

The moth is also an unusual hero. It is small and quick while the acts are big and loud, which makes each dodge feel like a narrow escape.

Tips for the first act

Stop attacking when you see gold. The flash is your cue, and a dash at that moment is worth more than one extra hit.

Strike after a dodge, not before it. The safest hits come right after you slip an attack, when you already know where the fire went.

Keep to open floor. The ring is big, so give yourself room to dash in any direction instead of backing into the edge.
