How does your game relate to the theme?
The game's theme is Spark, literally. You play as an electrical spark traveling through a brain, jumping from neuron to neuron to activate them before your short lifespan runs out. Every mechanic revolves around the fragility and speed of a spark: fast movement, a ticking life timer, and the need to keep firing forward before you fade out completely.

The bouncing sound effect is really satisfying. I love the art too and how the section lights up after collecting the spark. I do wish that there was a bit more of a clear indicator when my spark is about to fade out. Nonetheless, good game!

love the graphism and sound! has a cool ambiance, maybe gameplay wise needed a little bit more contents but it felt good  (also very small bug : the music did not loop)

Developer

We're really glad you enjoyed the graphics, sound, and overall atmosphere. 😊 We agree that the gameplay could use more content, and it's definitely something we'd like to improve if we continue working on the project.

Thanks for pointing out the music loop bug as well! we’ll make sure to look into it.

Really appreciate you taking the time to play and share your thoughts!
