The Divine Light Begins to fade and must be fed with the fallen flowers, but the field has become a battlefield over the ages and remnants of war remain.

Burn the flowers to strengthen your flame, and do your best to avoid the bombs.

Use your mouse to guide the light! Hover over a flower to burn it and gain its power!

This was a neat little simulation. Unusually for this sort of thing, the graphics were fairly good. I had some significant lag in rendering these graphics on my computer. For some reason I couldn't hear any audio so I left that unrated. The challenge of the game didn't seem to be great. Controls were simple and effective. Overall I felt like the concept was good and graphics neat, but the gameplay wasn't too engaging.

It was very laggy on my PC too but the idea is interesting.
I couldn't understand very well the powers I gain except for a bigger light.

As the light gets bigger, you can find flowers more easily, but are also more likely to trigger bombs

The lag was pretty bad, but the mechanic was fun! Not sure if it was intended but after I destroyed the fifth flower the game freaked out. My light got big and the screen flashed white as all the flowers exploded all over the place. That was awesome!

neat game, a bit laggy though, but nice idea having to remember where the bombs are

Interesting game, kind of a puzzle but not. It was very laggy though. And after a while the "light"-circle grow to cover the whole screen and I didn't have to move the mouse. Re-spawning flowers just blew up by themselves. (Ok, just read the comment you made that this was intended) If that would get refined, and some music and nice sounds added this could be a cute game! Well done!

It was quite laggy for me but it's an interesting idea

Very laggy on my computer too, but the experience was kind of hypnotizing!

Nice little game, it was a bit choppy for me but it was still playable. Burned all the flowers, didn't get blown up. Good work on the game!

Nice job! I like the idea, and think it is a cool approach to the theme. However, I did notice some lag and did not hear any audio, unfortuantely.

The game is super laggy and choppy, I couldn't move my mouse faster because of it. And the fact that you had to quickly click on the flower as fast as you can makes the game unplayable. I can see that this could be a very fun and reflex-based game, but its so hard to play the game when you are getting 1 frame per 2 seconds.

I got like 5 FPS and it was unplayeable... Also no sound. Good concept though :)

I wish it wasn't so laggy! It seems like a cool mechanic but I couldn't really play it and at some point I was just sitting there because the light was so bright the flowers just popped automatically so there was nothing to do.

Looks like a really neat concept, but I don't understand the controls and the game moves really slow! I suggest exporting it to a downloadable file because that could speed it up. Also, it just needs a lot of optimization in general. From what I could tell, the graphics look nice though!

It did not seem to lag on my computer. This is a simple game, I like the idea. The flower animation was really cool!

Interesting game, a bit difficult, my games did not last long. I like the concept.
