Thanks for your comment. I added a bit of description to the Instructions to clarify which bar is which. Also note that releasing the button also counts, which is totally a feature that I planned for and not a happy accident I decided to leave in for greater immersion *wink*
The bar below is the timer and supposed to constantly go higher. (I might patch some icons into the game to make that clearer as well)
If it's the bar to the right and it doesn't go down when you don't click anything, this is a bug and if you give me a bit more info on what browser you're using, I'll look into it.
