This new game is good!
I like the character and animations!! <3
Words in runes :'D

I beat the demo on red difficulty. Here some thoughts.

• Heart challenge is the hardest for me. On the high speed buttons won't turn off fast enough. Maybe it need more colors or some tweaks to make it fair for regular human being. For me it was impossible most of the time.
Sometimes it is first game in the row and player made a mistake. In this case, it will be more convenient for the player if the timer resets automatically.

• Punishment (red light on the left) in sequence challenge is so annoying. I felt primal rage. One wrong click ruins the whole run.

• Sometimes in Circle challenge all lights are on at the start. Maybe it is a bug.

Good luck developing your new game! I think it will be amazing!!

Thanks a lot for taking time to provide feedback <3

Did you think some red times are way off, and too hard/easy?

Wouldn't hurt making memory sequence more readable, I'll think up the way to do so.

Punishment really does suck, I'll remove it. It made sense in development, but practically missing by itself is punishing enough.
Also I found longest sequence a bit too exhausting, I'll probably cut it down to 6 buttons, or will try to make game in general bit less random.
I did speed slider for memory in the last moment before release, and I think it saved the game, making times more dispersed and skill based. Maybe I could do something similar here :p

All lights on wasn't intended, but It's fine I guess, like all ender eyes being in place on end portal in minecraft (but not as rare lol).
I never got it during development, and got it once yesterday, while getting all red times, so it's pretty rare I assume

For me it is easy to get red times on Circle game but it feels like reward for remembering combinations B-)

The hardest red times for me:
On the first page: The bottom one. This is the hardest of them all.
On the second page: all hearts and sequence games. Hearts are painfully hard.

Cut down to 6 buttons is good idea.

I got all lights three or four times because of many restarts. I tried to get easy from the start.
