Tell us about your game!
You have to use the mouse to press the menu buttons, but then you can use the directional buttons on the keyboard or a controller to move. The right button or space bar will make you wait in place for 1 turn, and the right shoulder button or R on a keyboard will reset the level to the default beginning state. P or the "start" button on the controller will pause or dismiss the pause state. You can push the lights by walking into them but that only matters after level 3. I am not happy with the way the lights look, but it's a jam game so them's the breaks I guess.

The story was going to be something about following your mentor into a magical workshop and learning about the job by shadowing them very literally, but I really did not get that far in making the game. It's just a mechanical puzzle game in its current state, with 6 levels, and should be judged on those merits.

Extra Notes
This was scary but fun! Thank you for hosting this! This is my first game that is not literally following a tutorial step by step, and I only made it because of this jam!

Cool puzzle concept! Honestly was pretty difficult to figure out at first but that was part of the fun.  A bit more feedback when waiting a turn would be nice, in order to make it a bit more obvious when you pressed space bar.

Overall, would love to see how this game expands with the story you've mentioned, awesome job!
