Notes from gameplay:

- Is the title supposed to be "Why Won't It Work?"

- Why is the game screen moving? Is that intended?

- Text is overlapping on itself, can't read everything after I click past the post-it note

- The scream audio sound is a bit irritating

- Timer feels way too quick, but I understand the concept after losing a few rounds

- The concept is really cool! I just need more time to do it in, especially since the draggable words often overlap the code I'm supposed to put them into

- Loading the green draggable words in the same part of the screen each time would help with the "speed" element and help keep them from overlapping on each other

- Maybe solving one of the equations could reduce the stress bar and give the player more time

Loved the concept! If I had a bit more time or had ways to reduce the increasing timer, I think this could be a fun, challenging game about coding!

Very accurate experience. Enjoyed the game!

Maybe have a bit slower timer for the first round xD Was a bit chaotic haha! But a good demonstration of how many of us were probably feeling at times haha!

interesting concept would be better if you explored it a little more and primed the imagination before the  scare.

No key press seems to do anything, just a cheap jump scare
