You are spot on I think - I wrote the description of how to play after staying up all night to finish the entry, I think your description is quite apt, and will use it to craft more clear instructions.
So thank you for concisely expressing how to play :D
Yeah one of the challenges when making something you haven’t quite seen before is that you’re not quite sure how it should look or feel - that being said I think there is some promise to this mechanic, and lots of room for improvement/refinement.
We really appreciate your thoughts and kind words, thank you :D
