Cool! This is pretty fun, and I love the way the game teaches you how to play as it goes.

Perhaps a countdown timer to increase the tension a little bit?

Thanks so much. I considered adding a countdown. I'm not sure exactly how much time the player should have to complete it.

Interesting game, though I wasnt quite sure what I was doing. I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/taJ6gW4nG1g
