Good idea for a puzzle game (would work in other forms too), but it's WAY too hard, the moth flies so fast I can't have the SPEED to place the lanterns. Also, in the beginning I didn't know how it worked, took so many times until I realized you can't move the lanterns, just click once (or twice, including the activation). Maybe there's something I didn't get? Maybe some instructions? I tried to activate the lamp with number keys (I thought 1 means the first lamp, 2 means the second), which would've made the fast placing of the lamps easier (as needed).

Use of the limitation
The intensity of the light controls the speed of the moth. More intensity means the moth is attracted more towards the light.

Fairy self-checkoutAmazing! Sadly quite short, the mechanics have great potential. Also you uniquely made theme and limitation play together, good job!

Haunted by the LightYour game looks great! Your interpretation of the limitation and theme together work amazing and was executed well. I think the gameplay is really unique and could see spending a ton of time playing it! It's hard to have really strong level design in just 3 days - I got pretty stuck on level 3 - but overall I think you did a really great job and made a great well rounded game. Congrats!

PRISMOCool little puzzle game! At first I didn't know why the moth was super fast sometimes, but then realized it was the number on the lamp that controlled it.
I would have liked to be able to select a lamp with keyboard keys, but selecting with the mouse just added to the challenge so I didn't mind as much. I made it to the end!
Nice work!
