How does you game fit the theme?
the only other sound's the sweep explores memory as a way for us to revisit our past selves and perspectives, and by interacting and changing these memories you are, in a way, communing with your past selves. in this way you are never really alone

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes i did! the only thing is the song, which is a royalty free track called follow the light by jonny easton. credited in the game page!

Best interpretation of the theme through story I've seen yet, also a surprisingly fleshed out world with interesting characters in such a short time!

Really cool sci-fi concept, wrapped in a very relaxing visual style. I'm a big fan of the pastel colors and simple control scheme, as I think they do a good job highlighting and reinforcing the tone of the story. Nice work!

THE best game I saw so far on this Jam!!!

When I read in the discription that the approximate time it takes to complete is 15 minutes i was like "Nah, i'ma play 2min and switch to next one" - But I ended up playing the complete game! And its been wonderfull! Also a very unique Interpretation of the Theme, and a very fitting and charming Music!

 A definite 5 Stars from me!!!
