Use of the limitation
I tied the score directly to the game's theme of moving from nocturne to light. Every grid we illuminate brings us one step closer to winning; if we light up all the grids, we max out the score and win. The score counter always stays at the top.

Cookies eaten
Not a cookie. But, sweets? I cant count. They are saviors.

 Its my favourite jam game I've ever seen! I love the mechanics where you need to defend and manage your light. It's a very cool mechanic combination for me. And this game great for me because I love tower defences or strategy games. I'd love to see bosses or something like that in the game. The game end is very easy now, I'd prefer a harder ending.

Thank you for your valuable comments; they mean a lot! I know the end is easy and the beginning is very hard.  It is because I couldn't find a time to balance, it was my first jam :). I will definitely take what you said into account.

Great idea with light-dependent tower defense! Bats very annoying on the first few waves tho... But it's great game!

Thank you for your comments; I really appreciate it! You are right about the first few waves; they are a little hard. To help people, I wrote a to-do list on the page to survive the first waves.

Very cool concept. I wish the bat swarms scaled a little slower. Otherwise great work!

Thank you! You are right about annoying bat swarms :)
