Out of curiosity, I've since tried it with a stylus. Still probably too much of an active dexterity/reflex check for anything trying to be hypnotic, and the precise target is still very hard to see a lot of the time and is really easy to lose, but it does work and doesn't cause hand/finger pain.

The speed of the target when you have to touch in circles ramps up WAY too fast for such a small region of a touch screen, and the circular path you have to trace is way too small. The particle trails the target circle leaves make it extremely difficult to locate, and you have to follow that fast moving, nearly invisible target underneath your finger with ridiculous precision to not start losing whatever seems to count as "progress" in the list of percentages at the top.
I have skinny fingers and my phone is not small, and the circle I'm expected to precisely trace in like half a second or less over and over again is basically covered by just the tip of my index finger. This is asking for a repetitive strain injury, my index finger was sore in seconds while failing to keep up with a target I couldn't see. Did you test this with a stylus on a tablet?
Trying to follow along with this one was genuinely stressful. I'm not gonna hurt myself just to see where this one goes; all your other stuff is much more usable, but I think this could be, too, if it were easier to actually do what it seems to be asking me to do.
