Controls:

  • Left Mouse Button

  • Mouse Movement

WARNING!

If You can't progress, sometimes objects might get stuck in edges of the screen. Try to move the mouse around the edges to gather stuck parts. At the end the game should take you back to the Menu screen. I recommend the downloaded version, the web version might not play the sound at the end for some reason.

Very pretty game, I clicked on it based on the thumbnail alone. Cool concept, though I wish I didn't have to hold the mouse button down so much.

Mesmerizing game with wonderful audio. I really liked the reflection effects. I also really enjoyed how you made the background for your website have the particles from the game! Very immersive :)
