A downloadable game for Windows

Description
This is a Game Jam proof of concept entry made in a day and a half.
In this game, the camera does not naturally follow the player. The player must use their character to manually manipulate the game's main cameras. Because of this, it is easy to lose your character. Press 1 to recenter the main camera on your character, or press ESCAPE and press RESTART to restart the level.
There is no natural conclusion to the game. You must manually quit using the pause menu, even if all colors are collected.

To Start
At the start of the game, hold W to walk forward until you see your character. This is for dramatic effect, however controls are not restricted, so it's easy to get lost at this point.
Once your character is sufficiently close to your camera, press SPACE to pick your camera up and carry it around.

Goal
The goal of the game is to collect every source of light in the world. There are 7 of them, one for each color of the rainbow.

Controls
W - Move character forward.
A - Turn character left.
S - Move character backward.
D - Move character right.

SPACE - Pick up or drop lights.
E - Hold to project previously collected light forward. Release to stop movement.
ESCAPE - Pause game.

LEFT CLICK - Used to drag camera windows around the screen.
                            - Can also be used to move the main camera by holding and moving the
                               mouse.
RIGHT CLICK - Used to delete camera windows and reabsorb light cameras.

1-7 - Used to toggle character tracking on and off. Each key aligns with a color as follows:
     1. Orange (Toggling character tracking off allows for manual control of the camera.)
     2. Red
     3. Yellow
     4. Green
     5. Blue
     6. Indigo
     7. Violet
