Great game for such a short dev timeframe!

Great game period. But especially considering how quickly you developed it.

Well done.

Now release my mouse, infernal wind!

This is a rage game where you struggle to click the box and an empty bulb on the line. Misclicking with a bulb in your hand will break the bulb.

I had 2 bulbs in the box when I completed the task (Normal Mode). The trick I came up with was to let the wind carry your cursor into the bulb. Since the wind likes to change rapidly, a little bit of luck is involved, and you sometimes have to decide whether to abandon that attempt or struggle to make it work.

While you have made an interesting mechanic by using warp_cursor() (I think that's the function name), I think that's all you learned, and if you're a veteran of the jam like it says in your file, I think you have a lot more to show for it than what is on display here.

Challenge yourself more, and come back in January!

I just started reading other things too, like how the game was made in just 5 hours. While certainly a show in-and-of-itself, this seems overly limiting.

Evil game >:) moves your mouse even outside the window. Regardless, real coherent and impressive for... 5 hours! Congrats.

Oh ow! It shouldn’t! I swear I placed a check to see if cursor was within the window. What I didn’t check was if the window was in the foreground, though, so that could be the issue :(

Thanks for playing!

Yeah. That was interesting trying to click on the window close icon, or the OS menu in order to kill the game after winning.
