The gameplay is easygoing as players only need to tap the position on the screen of where they would like to go. There's also a double tap feature to quickly dash across the screen, allowing for a quick escape from wasps or spiders, and to avoid falling water. To completely avoid taking damage from an enemy, Shiny is also able to hide in flowers or behind rocks. There are hearts scattered on each level that players can collect to revive their health status. If a baby firefly gets hit by water, a jumping fish, or one of the other many challenging opponents out there, it kills them. If a player loses too many baby fireflies, it's game over.
Shiny The Firefly isn’t a game that will overly excite anyone. I appreciate the theme and some of the level design, though I couldn’t fully get into the slow going nature of the game. The levels, at times, feel more like tasks that I need to complete rather than something I want to complete. Even so, it still has enough charm to warrant a look.
