Nah, I believe games should communicate clearly with players - I actually wanted to include a cookie counter in screen’s corner but forgot about it focusing on gameplay and levels 😅 If you saw the count decreasing after level reset, it would be more clear what’s happening :)
No worries, it didn’t sound harsh to me. Sound has never been my main focus in my games but in this project I’ve already receive some positive feedback on it what is a positive surprise for me on its own. Any feedback is welcome because it’ll make my future games better! And I appreciate you sharing your music, I may make use of it in the future whenever it’ll fit my game :)
