Really fun game! I really like the feel of the mechanic - its snappy an precise, but generous enough to widen the window after a second or two. It particularly feels good when you can nail multiple breaths (huffs? puffs? asthma attacks?) in a row. I did seem to notice that there was an issue with the timer/score at the end? I had two good runs, but they said I lasted 12 or 9 seconds, respectively, wheras I tested a run where I just let the fuse go, and it was 20 seconds. Maybe its something to do with it looping if you last more than a minute or something? Regardless, a fun and silly game!

Thanks so much for such thoughtful feedback! And even bigger thanks for the bug spot, you're right; basically I had a debug script that showed it on-screen like a stopwatch, so at 60 seconds a minute counter would tick over and it'd reset. I'd just copied and pasted that seconds script straight into the game-over screen so it always reset to 0 at the minute mark. That's been patched (and added decimals in-case two people had some close-call); was a single line!
Thanks again!
