How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
We interpreted the box as a box containing objects from the past.
The explosion part was interpreted naratively : we wanted the player share an explosion of feeling with the character, linked to nostalgia, through this narrative... Also, there are an explosion of confetti at the end.

An interesting take on the explosion theme, I like it when developers don't use the common interpretation of a game jam's theme. I just hope there's a fullscreen button because the texts are too small.

Cute idea! Narrative works are always interesting to me, shares a bit of the humanity behind video games and that's really special. Congrats on your submission!

I like the artstyle but i just kept on pressing Spacebar and the game kept continuing? What am I supposed to do? 

Music is really fitting and the special object is in the center of the game but I feel like the theme is missing a bit. Still impressive work for a weekend jam!

You need to click and drag the different elements there are in-game.

We'll try to fix this bug.

nice game! It felt very bittersweet. I like the visuals, though gameplay wise there's an issue if you move your cursor too fast when dragging an item and it moves off the item, it stops moving the item.

We will try to fix the problem by tomorrow, thank you for the information.
