If anyone's interested I made a slightly improved version with more helpful UI and slightly better control responsiveness. If you want a nicer experience of the same idea then I'd suggest playing that one. Obviously this version is the one relevant for GMTK  game jam rating though.  https://pixelpita.itch.io/dot-dot-dash-deluxe

I wish that I could see the dots and the commands they execute, it's hard to remember, and annoying to not seeing game while checking them out. But quite a good idea!

Ah okay, my intention was that part of the challenge came from struggling to remember and execute the commands under the time pressure. That's also why I hid the game on pause, so it wasn't possible to plan ahead with the time stopped. But maybe it's a bit frustrating that way. Perhaps having the controls and game visible at once would still leave a challenge in looking for the right command quickly enough.
