Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! :)
We feared that this prompt might be the hardest to understand, so we tried to explain it as best as we could (with the limited space that we had) in the menu you have to click through at the start - I am glad it made sense after a while!
I really like your suggestion about the "endgame"! We thought about multiple possibilities too, like making the timer shorter and shorter, but we just ran out of time on the Game Jam to implement something that felt satisfying ^^
