So I'm going to comment on the aesthetics. I'm not great at puzzle games and this one is a puzzle. Two minutes to figure it out and I've tried three times. Couldn't figure it out, but it does make me want to continue until I do.
I like the music. It gives urgency but not insanity which is perfect because I can see this puzzle being frustrating as most puzzles tend to be.
The controls were simple enough to understand after pressing buttons on the keyboard.
I do wish there was a way to exit back to the main menu because of the short time limit. OR a way to skip through the text part to get to the game faster. Especially since I think people are not going to pass on the first try. If ya do give me some pointers please.
Great job!
