Thank you for your comment! You make interesting points:
1. It is true. I thought I had added plenty of feedback but I could have done more.
2. The idea of my game was, to me, very literally a countdown. When someone says "3, 2, 1, GO", and you try to go at the same time. The numbers that are displayed used to mark that beat. Somewhere along the way, I thought it would be more satisfying to only decrease the number if you hit the beat. It actually didn't cross my mind that I would lose some theme matching with this choice but I see your point. To be honest, I wasn't satisfied with how literal and simplistic my idea was so this makes me a little happy :)
