Removing the punishment for the sequence game was a great idea. I felt like losing track was punishing enough in terms of time, since you'd have to redo the challenge anyway.
The punishment was if you mess up a sequence that you already know (like if you've already activated 3-4-1 correctly, and you accidentally press 3-4-2) the big light on the left side turns red and you can't make any inputs for like 3 whole seconds.
