Thank you so much Miles! I agree with the difficulty critique and I'm trying to think of the best way to implement one. As you and others have suggested maybe having the eyes look sooner after the sound, having the sound decrease in volume over time, and/or giving double seconds while the eyes are in the opening animation are good starting points. I really appreciate your excitement and enjoyment about the game, thank you. Also nice score! I added you to the leaderboard :)
