The music was very calming, the art was... coherent. The game started with vieport exceeding my screen size and there was no itch's fullscreen button, so I had to just use my mouse wheel with holding ctrl to downsize it to be able to play. The idea sounds pretty unique and original, I however for the love of god could not work out how to solve any of the riddles :( I used your tip from one of previous comments that first one is red, but I failed the second one immediatelly few times having no clue what to do :P But it sounds like it could be entertaining if I knew how to play 😅

I like the concept you described but I probably played the first level ten or more times before giving up. This mechanic sounds like it'll be cool but you desperately need a tutorial for something so strange. Really loved the art style though! Would you be willing to give me the solution to the first level so I can try again later and see if I can understand the rest after seeing how to correctly solve one of the puzzles?

Hi, thanks for playing the game! I'll admit that it was my first time working on a puzzle game, and I didn't get a chance to play test it (which always ends well), which would have warned me that I needed to include a tutorial. Based on others comments as well it was not clear which fireflies the player needed to pay attention to in order to solve the puzzle, which is on me. The idea is the firefly on the left is signaling to the firefly on the right who will turn on the floodlight if you get the answer right, so don't pay attention to them and only focus on the colored fireflies. 

But in answer to your question, the answer to the first level is red! If you ever get to the fifth level, I also realized that there are some mixed up fireflies, the red->green firefly should be blue->green, and the blue->yellow firefly should be red->yellow.

Oh okay, so I thought I was supposed to fill in all six spaces with colors and was VERY confused. I still think it's confusing but now at least it seems doable haha! Thanks for the thorough response, I appreciate it!

Music is beautiful. I couldn’t figure out the light logic though haha. Nice game guys!

Fun game but I couldn't beat level 5. I'm pretty sure I had the sequence right, but could just as well be that my brain stopped working :)

I also had the issue with the game being too big for my monitor, but turning on full screen in the options solved that. If you're unable to scroll/pan with your mouse, then use the arrow keys to navigate. You have to go up a couple of times, and then right until you see the full screen switch.

Hmm. I can't figure out how to send the right signals?
Also, the screen resolution is bigger than my browser allows, so I have to scroll around to see stuff.

It's cool to see someone else using the firefly theme.
