The intro and art is genuinely on the level of a fully-developed, non-game-jam game! Incredibly well done. My only issue is that I can't seem to find any other lights aside from 1 - meaning I get a game over almost immediately, is that a bug or am I missing something? I've tried pressing 2, 3, 4, etc. while holding ML or MR but nothing happens. See screenshot below!

Electricty is expensive these days! Turn the light off if you are not high-lighting an artist and only highlights artists. Otherwise you will run out of money. When the money is gone, the circus is broke and you'll have to start again.
You'll be able to unlock more lights later on, but try to get trough the 1st act with your one light.
