Design Statement
The theme of the game gave us the impression of something "nightly" and "christmasish". One of our top priorities was also to make something with meaningful human interactions, and the first idea that popped on our minds was fireflies, and making a very simple player controller using the mouse. During development, we naturally steered towards making a game where you could explore a bit the scenario and cooperate with other players to understand what you need to do.

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
It's a PC browser game, it starts as soon as there are at least 2 players joining the game (at most 4 players per game).

Did your project use any AI tools or assets? If yes, please specify.
Only for coding bits. In the client, I used to make some adjustments on the player controller mechanic. In the backend, I used it to develop a framework where I could deploy gamerooms on my private server. I've done multiplayer games before in Godot, so most of the code was mine.

It's really fun to play this game with others! However, it took quite a while to find other players, at least in my experience.

Thanks for trying it out! Yeah, I was kind of expecting this, basically you have to join a match with someone you know (jam game and all, only reviewers are playing it right now).  Still, it was a good experiment!

Very unique game, especially for a game jam! We needed to watch the walkthrough to understand what to do and I'm still not sure what the little indicator lights that float around each player are for. The gameplay itself was impressive, all of the physics and multiplayer stuff worked flawlessly!

Thank you so much for playing! The little dots were supposed to be other fireflies you freed from the lamps, but yeah, later we noticed it got a little confusing hahaha.
