Thank you! I spent a lot of time towards getting the look of the studio just right so I appreciate the compliment!!
Also yeah, I did have a feeling this scenario could happen to someone while playing unfortunately (getting soft-locked), that is one of the few bugs I wanted to fix up but literally ran out of time so I had to submit it the way it was without being able to address it.
I did have a Space Bar graphic that was supposed to show above the mash bar, but for some reason the web browser version of the game seems to have omitted that visual. Which I find so strange because that was the only missing graphic for the game.
