Simple but fun! I included it in my Game Maker Toolkit’s Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

How does your submission match the theme?
The game features a singular action that can be performed by the player which ultimately leads to every part of the game.
Clicking in a location will deter the everlasting chase from the dark orb and act as the main motion for the light orb. Travelling at high speeds lets you escape the dark orb faster and build up speed so it can eventually be defeated. Defeating it will increase your score while slowing your acceleration to increase difficulty and having it defeat you grants the opposite effects.
