Interesting idea to make a rhytm-based game for a text-only jam! The intro was a bit too long, and the gameplay could have used more variety (three colors that blink in three spots?) I didn't really get the purpose of newts, or what they were doing. The gameplay didn't seem to be effected by the directions I gave to my newt. Never managed to "keep my cool", how was I supposed to do that? Also, the words could be a lot bigger, and there could be some feedback on whether I got it right or didn't. Music and sound effects would have improved the experience, too.
