I loved every moment of playing this even though I had no friggin clue what my objective was, what the text at the start of the game meant, what the numbers on the orbs meant, and why I lost. The music was perfect, the text was charming to look at, the visual style was really cohesive and fun. It just really needed a bit more hand-holding and tutorializing of the initial bit of the game. Really impressive polish. Fascinating that I was really enjoying it even though I was totally confused lmao.

Thanks for playing! I'll try another shot at explaining things as simply as possible, so if it makes sense try it out again and see how it feels :D
- Connect the orbs to the orbs they need (shown in the drop-down when you hover over them)
- in the dropdown, 'green text' means its gotta be connected directly to that orb,
-still in the dropdown, 'black text' means as long as there's a path to that orb its fine, even through other orbs
I'll work on the visual language/tutorial some more after the jam, thanks for the feedback, it really helps!
