I have to agree that this is not an adventure game, but rather a kind of action or puzzle game. I highly recommend that the talking noises either are removed or are varied. That said, I completed the game and found the puzzles okay, although I'm not generally a fan of this type of game. When dying repeatedly, it gives me the same sort of frustration that a platform game does when I cannot make a jump. That's not to say there is anything wrong with the type of game, just that I prefer slower types of gameplay myself.

There were nothing wrong with the puzzles, it's simply that an old fart like myself plays the games of this adventure jam expecting adventure games. So don't beat yourself up over that. For its genre, the puzzles worked just fine. It's more a game my kids would enjoy, while my slower reflexes makes me struggle a bit.
