I’ve not played anything quite like this. It made my brain feel odd in just the right way, similar to the psych evaluations where you are asked to say what color the word is and not what the word actually is. My first completion took about 2:12. Great work!

fun idea :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with this game. But one suggestion is that you should know what to do without an info dump (The tutorial you gave) I would've loved some music instead of the endless drums. I also wouldn't really count this as a speedrunning game, because the way to beat it faster is just to not mess up. And the Polymars mode is way too hard. If I would've added something to the game it would be to send waves with eg. spacebar. That way it's more my fault if I die, and you could get better by playing more.
