@Amanda.Bott , after watching Burgos play my UE4JAM submission (Molla Shine) I think I went too deep with the theme. Molla Shine is very strongly linked to the theme and I don’t want to lose points due to trying too hard. The Molla (flying bugs) epitomise the meaning behind the quote / theme which is about bringing your own meaning to a meaningless existence (bringing light to the darkness - I Googled and read the article containing the quote). The Molla only live for one minute, but in that time they try to be the best they can be. These bugs are revered because they remind us to be our best in the time we have. Our goal in the game is to compete with them, to push them harder and make them shine brighter (literally and figuratively). The ones that glow the brightest catch the attention of the Queen and get to reproduce before they die. This in turn gives us meaning and satisfaction in helping them meet their potential and continue to breed. It aims to be a very positive game and message 
I just wanted to point that out to your judges. Next time I will go for a more literal approach
p.s. Thanks to @VictorBurgos for playing all the games. I don’t know how you managed it!
