Doesn't work, no way to start. Press enter and still nothing.
Even when I click the screen, i can move the select from play to settings, but pressing enter to select or clicking start doesn't work regardless.

Click the screen. When you click off the screen the game tells you "Click to focus."

Pretty decent puzzle platformer! Has a nice retro aesthetic, the concept of shutting lights off and racing out of the darkness is cute and childlike, and the mechanics are built upon with new stuff at a good pace. It doesn't exactly wow me or anything, but it provides some decent fun.
If I were to have any feedback, it would be:
*The default controls were pretty bizarre and unintuitive. For example, I would expect the menu to be accessed with ESC, but it's done with Enter? As another, I would expect the main/interact/confirm button to be something like Z, X, Space bar, or maybe Enter, but D? Why D, of all buttons?
*I felt like maybe the levels were paced a bit too quickly. For example, I was surprised that, on the same level where you introduce buttons, you also introduce the twist of using batteries as objects to hold down a button. That's quite the loaded level! But then again, better to be fast-paced than too slow.
*I was really scared of levels that had a bunch of ghosts, because it felt like it creates so much busy work to clear them out before you can actually play the level. If I were to die, I would hate to clear the ghosts all-over again, going back and forth to aggro them and pull them to the light, one-by-one.
*I found it odd that, while there is a symbol for acquiring the coin in the level, there's no symbol on the calendar to indicate that a level has been normally cleared.
This feels like I'm playing Heart Star. Very confusing, but fun game. Good job!
had some trouble getting the controls figured out, but pretty good game overrall
This puzzle game is very well made. Good job.
