Interesting concept :O
There are definitely cool ways to apply this mechanic in a bigger game :D
Also fascinating that you wrote the engine youself!

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the game. I like risk reward system in games. The idea behind this one was that stopping the timer early is easy, but leaves less potential time to do future rounds. Ideally this would encourage players to take risks and try to stop the timer as close to zero as possible to save more time and make it possible to do more rounds.
