Thank you for writing such detailed feedback, I appreciate it. We tried a button (Y on controller) that toggles the direction of time, but I got lost when trying to make split second decisions. Maybe with a better UI showing the flow of time it could improve. I agree with the rest of your feedback. I wish we could have done more, but some major bugs appeared and we ran out of time fix the other stuff. If you are interested, we will release a better version after the voting period is over.
