I love the way you put a twist on the “your controls are broken” mechanic, implementing player agency into it already elevates it a lot! The game has such a nice presentation as well, it’s really memorable!
The only thing I don’t like are the short timers! I kept switching from mouse to keyboard and that has been losing me the most time, which got frustrating really quickly. More lenient timers or a different incentive to play fast would be lovely!
