Congrats for your entry !
It reminds me of those Cuphead bosses, where you have to keep track of several simple things at the same time, which makes it really hard
Also I like the sky color palette, I think having a beautiful sky is underrated in games lol
One constructive comment : you could add some feedback when you get an input right on the vertical bar, in addition to the small horse head, maybe a sound effect or something. It would make it easier to keep track of where you're at
