Entrant for GMTK 2020 game jam

- OUT OF CONTROL-

-- GAME RULES --

Poor Wickworth has set himself alight... again!
Guide him in his desperate stupor using the mouse to drag the command blocks onto the Movement Reader and click Run (or hitting the Enter key), and he'll execute the moves you've told him to do (even if it's nothing)!
Steer him towards Beakers of water to put him out, and keep him thinking straight. Because if you don't... he'll start to Panic! And when he panics, he will start putting in his own moves that might start making matters worse.

If you get desperate for water, you might want to seek The Magic Button (TM) which will refill all the beakers on screen! But because Wickworth used it so many times before it doesn't quite pop back up as regularly as it should!

If Wickworth's fuse reaches the end, he'll promptly expire and that's GAME OVER. I guess, if anything, it's for his own good as he'll only play with matches again (DON'T DO THAT PEEPS. REMEMBER THE STORY WITH THE MOTH? CHILDHOOD TRAUMA RIGHT THERE!)

Oh, and don't try to be clever by telling him to do many things at once. He's not that bright. (I mean, he has set himself on fire multiple times. That should be the litmus test here for his level of intelligence and wisdom!)
And we sincerely apologise if the world doesn't work properly. Let's just say it's their penance for BEING CRUEL GODS WHO BESTOWED A STICK OF DYNAMITE WITH LIFE. (Note: We do feel bad for Wickworth! We aren't monsters!)

-- CONTROLS --

M - Mute All Audio (and upset the Audio Guy by Proxy)
F7 - Reset Room (ripping space time asunder)
F8 - Exit Game (because you've had enough, which is fair)
Enter - Run Move Commands (as clicking is beneath you; exemplar of keyboards)
