I made this game in just 12 hours, partially because I am spending so much of my time working on my full puzzle release, based on my LD53 game Artifact. (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/artifact)

I liked the single "energy" bar working as both a time limit and health counter. Seemed like the best strategy was to leave as many souls on screen as I could to collect later, since you don't get anything if you max out on "energy". Although in practice that also made the game a lot harder, so there's a neat tradeoff there. I got to 80 after a few tries:

Suffice to say, it means so much to me that you would take the time to compile the game yourself and play it.
Thank you! :)
