I think the timer is more of an annoyance than anything else, this looks more like the type of game where you take your time, read, and reason. When time was up, I had just started kicking the balls into the circle. And the controls need some polish, like I believe the balls should not stick to your character, and the kick hitbox should be a bit bigger or at least the character legs should be bigger.
Also, I think this game would be good as an educational game because you can practice your association skills and vocabulary skills and it's actually fun. It was very original, I'll give you that too.
