Admirable you only took 24 hours to make such a polished game!

5640! (After I sabotaged myself). I agree with the upping difficulty, but maybe separating into two difficulties. I'm sure this game fares well as a relaxing game, so maybe keep this difficulty but add a harder obstacle, or up the frequency, etc. unless you want to keep it as a game jam game. I rated five under consideration of the time-frame, and the awe-inspiring atmosphere.
I got the item I wanted, but the timer kept counting down. Is this because I took a shortcut trading route (as in, I traded for it without trading with everyone). That worked in a previous level, but not with this one (it's the one after the first level with water boundaries). Great game, despite that one bug!
Nothing stops me from just double clicking the glyphs and getting 110 moves under par- you don't have to get all of the pieces to end the level! If the level restarted when you haven't gotten all the pieces but used all the glyphs, it would make more sense--I feel that when a game has a "par" for each level, that should replace the "score". In this game, you can maximize moves under par or maximize score/game pieces (which I shall call crystals) destroyed--there is no reason not to do either pointless thing (taking any amount of moves you want to get the highest score, or taking literally 0 moves to get an okay number of points) without a restriction. The restriction I'd suggest is either have only a certain number of moves allowed (and keep score), or have the level finish only if the player gets all crystals (and keep par). Maybe create two modes? One for par, another for score, heck, why not add another for time or longest chain in least amount of moves or something... (I did not mean to backseat drive...I just love puzzle games...)
The concept is fascinating, and the game has a lot of potential. I really enjoyed playing it! Good luck with other jams and future games!
