I don't understand much of this game, but the idea seem fun. But anyway I like to give you a Golden Christmas Star for taking time to play and give feedback to many of jams games. Well done.

Thank you for your feedback and for playing. I wouldn’t understand the game either if I hadn’t made it myself :-D. It was an experiment, but 12 seconds are definitely not enough for a game like this. I’ve now increased the time to 36 seconds and added a small (though not very good) description at the start. I also reduced the resolution; it was a bit too large. Otherwise, I think part of a game jam is also testing other games. I believe that with feedback from others, you can get the most out of a jam.

great start to a game and loved the art. i did use the candle and found a “1” which i assume has to do with the PIN that everything else seemed to require but i got no further.

the mechanic played well so i hope you continue this or spin it off to a more-complete game (followed in case you do :) ).

happy holidays!

I don't know if it's only me, but it’s hard to comprehend gameplay as complex as this, constrained to 12 seconds and resetting to the beginning every time the timer runs out.

Thank you for playing. I completely agree with you. It was an attempt to make a game like this in 12 seconds, and I didn’t have any level content until shortly before the submission deadline. When I tested it properly for the first time, I thought, oh man, you only have one level, but no one can beat it 🤣. But if someone does manage to beat it, they’ll get an ending sequence.

Cool game! I really like the idea and the art style. It would be awesome to see this expanded further someday!
