Wait, that’s not how lighthou… .. ahem, anyway!
Glad I read the other comments, as I wouldn’t have wanted to miss this gem!
Excellent use of the console, and using the theme as(/in) the final joke is inspired.
The beam is smaller when it’s closer of course, this creates an interesting effect where it’s harder to catch up on ships you’re late with. – I’m not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, or just ‘a thing’.
The story is very charming, even without that last stinger that made me really love it.
And indeed, some sound or music would’ve helped a bit (but I can’t complain as I didn’t add any to my own this time around either…)
