Ranked from 10 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How did you implement the theme?
The theme revolves around creatures who can only be identified when in visible "light." The point of the game is to identify as many correctly as possible given the time constraints.

How did you add the special object?
The special objects are "curtain" areas where creatures will go completely invisible.

Cool gameplay! The UI and Sound design are really nice. The trumpet sound when I hit a "perfect" and hearing the money rack up at the end was addicting.

Thanks for the kind words! Made my day

Great game juice, everything feels responsive and satisfying the gameplay loop is very fun. However it did take me a while to understand what I had to do, I found myself clicking on the creatures and thinking that it was doing something due to the squash and shake that appeared when the creatures entered / exited the curtain areas. Once I found out what to do I had alot of fun playing!

hey thank you for playing! Yes, I do think that in hindsight, the gameplay could have been better explained and benefited from graphics

The game was too big for my screen, and using the Fullscreen mode cut off part of it, making it a bit difficult to play.  But what I did play as pretty fun.  It took a few rounds to understand what I was doing.  The scoring system was clever, and exciting.  I wish I could speed it up somehow (like, click to cut forward to the next step?), but the anticipation was interesting.

Hey first off, thanks for playing! I'll try to make the screen size adjustable or take different sizes into account next time. I'll have to work on making my games a little easier to play as well, and as you said, perhaps skippable. Thanks!
