Oh god what have I created.
So sorry you had such a bad experience. Very valid points. Difficulty ramped up with playtesting and desire to pad the game time a bit since there isn't that much content. The distraction was a deliberate idea though and I stand behind it, just doesn't work with the frustrating gameplay apparently. Carpal tunnel I started to feel a bit too when testing, too much pressing up. But I couldn't bring myself to scrap what I had, good thing you stopped in time.
Thank you for trying it out though and for the feedback. Sorry it was a disappointment.
