Thanks for the critique!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game up until that point, I did take a risk going for that mechanic, but couldn't pass the thematic opportunity >.< don't want to say too much as to not spoil possible comment readers.
Even then, I tried making the patterns slow except for the last one, but I guess it wasn't balanced enough.
Balancing the game was an issue because I didn't really have many testers, so I apologize for the slip up in the experience.
I'll learn from this and try my best in the future!
Thanks again for your comment and taking the time to play this little game! <3
