Another person pointing out the long downtime between attempts! Seems like I should have considered that more -- I didn't realize when playing the game myself because the difference between screens 1 and 2-6 feels a lot smaller when you're plowing through on the highest speed.
It didn't even occur to me that some people would try to manually click an option instead of using the brush! I guess "[Input] to select an option" doesn't actually clarify which option would be selected. Hopefully "[Input] to select the highlighted option" would clear that up.
...Are people actually reading the in-game tutorial? If not, then I might want to add a short paragraph to the description summarizing the controls. And maybe some extra text in-game after the voting period is over.
Thanks for the feedback!
