Theming
I am Catholic. For this game, I took inspiration from three parables that I believe share a similar theme: The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Mt 25:1 - 13), The Parable of the Talents (Mt 25:14 - 30), and The Parable of the Wedding Feat (Mt 22:1 - 14). I believe it is important for us to share all that we have received from God--that is, our entire existence and everything that comes with it--with others, so that He can be glorified all the more. We should not dally in doing this, but do it immediately and always.
(BTW, I can't see the options below in "Time Investment"--they're all blank, so I'm choosing a random one. But I think I spent like 10-15 hours on it).

Nice job! As others mentioned, I lost the orb a few times. This was definitely a more abstract entry than others, but it was fun thinking about the parables you highlighted while trying to connect them with the game elements. The atmosphere was really good, and I think it did a great job of evoking an emotion.
Interesting concept, though I lost the ball of light off the screen, and I could not aim at the orbs. But your soundtrack was very nice! Good job.
Cool concept and the atmosphere was really cohesive and evoked emotion! The only thing that was difficult was the controls were perhaps a little too sensitive, and it was really easy for the main orb thing to go off the screen.
