Design Statement
The theme music makes me think about music boxes. And the fact that the music track stops at 1 minute in a bit of a sudden inspired me to create a mechanic where the game will soft reset at the end of every minute when the music finishes. I believe it gives a sense of time flying.
The kind of music boxes I thought about also gives me a nostalgic feel. And I want to make a game to remind people about the simple joy they had when they were a little child. The light ball in the game represents the joy you had when you were a child, and the idea of the game is to use it to light up the current you who might be trapped in the darkness.

This is one of the few games from this jam that makes really perfect use of actually integrating the theme into the gameplay. It fits the music box perfectly, using it as a timer is interesting, and it helps make the game really feel animated - great job!!!
