Interesting! As many other comments have said, would love a more involved tutorial, but I got it eventually. The mechanic of making patterns to improve your performance is very clever and introduces a great feeling of strategy to the game.
My main critique is that the link to the theme of Roles Reversed is only in the narrative context, not the gameplay. I'm not familiar enough with this genre of game to imagine how you could have reversed the gameplay, but it would have been interesting to see. Still, well done!
