I agree with the other comments: Quite a confusing and hard to master game play idea.
The idea itself fits the theme, but as you actually don't want to save them (?) it also is not fitting that well.
The art style is fine, but more consistency would enhance the overall feeling.
The SFX are fine, but some variations would be nice as well... I totally miss some music, this would create an overall better atmosphere I guess.
For next times try including a little tutorial within the game so the player knows what needs to be done. Also: When exporting to web always check the text style. Within the title menu (the instructions) there are some mussing symbols I guess.
Good jam entry, just needs a bit polish and a better introduction for the players I think :)
