With the same group that I've done 10 minutes game jams, we tried a 30 minutes one this time around! This week's theme was Enlighten me, and all I could think about was how difficult it is to make someone hostile understand something. For example:
- "I don't think being queer is wrong."
- "Oh yeah? Enlighten me."

Played entirely with the mouse, left click lights and hope for the left. Get them all green and you win!

I wondered how to translate this best in 30 minutes, and I remembered a little frustrating puzzle game I used to play as a kid: Lights On / Lights Off. 3x3 grids of light that turned on or off themselves and their neighbors when clicked. So I made it my own and did this silly little thing. Enjoy!
