I really enjoy meta-games like this one, it's always fun to see how people put their spin on them, and this was quite a fun way to incorporate that genre of game into this theme! The lack of polish is a benefit in many ways for these types of games since they're by design not asking players to be immersed in them due to the lack of consistency, so in that end I actually didn't feel bothered by the awkward nature of the controls for all 3 loops. Very fun idea!
