I don't know, I just kept moving and pressing Enter and it worked for a long time :/
For the rest, interesting idea.

How much time was taken?
Yep!
Use of theme?
My original concept came out of trying to fit all three themes together. Chain Reactions and Negative Feedback Loops both reminded me of how populations function. In a predator-prey population, a sudden surge in prey leads to a sudden surge in predators, but simultaneously that then cycles back and limits the sizes of both populations. Starting from there, I quickly realized this sort of gameplay dynamic felt a lot like match-3 games like Bejewled. So since I also wanted to put a twist on a classic game for the third theme, I leaned into that. The twist is that the game board is something you're platforming on, instead of the usual off-screen observer role from those games.
Use of diversifiers?

Color Blind tested using the link on the jam site (made sure the tiles were fairly distinguishable, and gave them different patterns in case)
Violence is not the answer
Working on editing the theme of this page now :)
