Great idea and subversion of the theme! And also some wacky mechanics that I ended up really enjoying. You did a great job of having it be replayable by virtue of having lots of little bits and pieces to explore and experiment with to figure out what everything does and how to get a lower time.
I was a bit confused at first when it asked me for my initials and the leaderboard didn't change, but it made sense once I actually tried a couple times and got a better score. I ended up getting 4.56 which was very satisfying! Music and sound also work so well for this
