Very nice, the gameplay could use some work, though.

What a relaxing experience! I didn't read a description so it took a while to figure out what I'm doing :) But it was like pleasant exploring of an unknown world. I like how you mix music to react to what happens in the game. Also graphics was very nice... very cool one!

Btw. 418s :)

This is one beauty of a simple game! I love the aesthetics and the music is wonderfully calm and relaxing. It was a smart choice to underscore the first letters of button labels, this made my unconscious kick in and viola, I can use shortcuts now! :D

The only thing I would ask for is the option to use keyboard for clicking because I've already played so many click-heavy games this LD that I need my mouse button changed. And maybe the wrist. X_X I tried to fix it myself (thanks for not minifying the code, btw), but kind of ruined the ending. :(

Anyway, I had my share of fun with this game. Thanks for making it! :) Here's my playthrough:

The graphics are stunning. You did a great job.

It did take a while but I did make it to the end.

The fireflies are just so beautiful.

nice work :)

Bing Done! That was interesting. All i could think of was the toy that you click the button on and all the lights go spinning around it. Also, the motivation for continuing actually felt like an endurance challenge. Rip wrist. xD![2023-01-15 16_43_03-Ecfloro.png](///raw/b24/z/56801.png)

Very minimalist yet so moody and, dare I say: Poetic! If only I hadn't played a game before that was also very click-intense 😅! If you're curious, this is was my experience with it:
