Thanks for playing.
The first level is indeed easy. Did you try other 4 levels as well. The game has 9+ total rules in 5 levels.
The first idea you shared was discussed in the team and we did try it out with a smoke bomb- hand change style. We found it a bit more for our testers and so we decided to keep it away from the jam submission. The second idea you shared can't be done as there are 9 numbers and at a worst case you will have to change 9 times to reach to safety. I would like to hear more ideas from you.

Replayed it, definetely was more interesting expirience with 4 rules (dunno how i managed to stay with two rules in my first play..) But i think speed doesn't help player analysis, if it's where you going. Personally feel, like it doesn't add complexity. I would decide what game focus i want: fast reaction decisions or slower analysis (ofc its only personal opinion. I think there are players who likes all at once challenge)
Overall - great game!
