Yeah it seems that very few people got how the codes need to be ordered, its kind of hinted in the original note "Codes seem to have a different pitch" but looks like it was still too mysterious and cloudy and could have been much better communicated visually! (Also there is a hint on the game page)
What is your resolution? I heard some people complain about stuff going offscreen at ceirtan resoloutions so thats why you might be having issues with some of the UI elements, someone already told me that making a select resoloution in settings would have been good but eh forogtem :P
Glad the monster scared you hehe
Thanks for the helpful feedback and for playing the game!
