I did actually figure out the first three tips, which is what I meant by feeling like the game requires you to get lucky with the lightning bolt. I appreciate you sharing the tips :) I think the one thing I missed logically was not realizing the beans and bolts wouldn't possibly be in the same room. Since you took the time to give me tips I went back and was able to finish it in just a few tries, though I maintain it's still only possible if you get the lightning bolt quick enough. The ending was very cute!
I also for sure forgot this was just a 3 hour project (definitely impressive!) and think my first comment probably reads as overly negative and for that I'm sorry. As I said I do think this is a solid experience that just could be a little easier :)
