I think the concept is ingenious and the audiovisual execution is great. The controls are good, but it might have been easier if there was either some simple tutorial. The hardest part is grasping what you are supposed to do to start off, and like others have said, once you realize that you have to wait, waiting isn't fun. For a game jam though, with this theme, I think this is overall a great submission and I hope you continue working on it and improving it.
