Thank you so much for playing our game!
Unfortunately I didn't polish the game's communication to the player as much as I had wanted to so I apologize for that. To clear up any confusion, the game is about clearing the room over multiple tries. As you use your new life to attempt to clear the room, the actions from your previous life will replay at the same time-stamps during your current life. These actions will repeat through all of your lives in that current level. My assumption is that your abilities activating without your input was actually our ability replay mechanic! Just with a lack of communication about when those abilities were actually going to activate. I'm hoping to update the game to at least make our intentions with that mechanic clearer.
Again, thanks so much for trying it out and giving us a review+feedback!
