Took a little while to understand it at first. I think if you manually made sure level 1 was always like: GREEN-GREEN-RED-RED... then it could be easier to pick up.
I kept getting complex patterns and I thought I had to cut away the WHOLE sequence if it didn't match 100%.
Once i figured it out, it became a lot more fun and challenging! I really love the moon face character, although I'm not sure why he's in charge of the scissors. He's got a lot of character though. I really like the entire UI. The little icons in the stats section are cute, but a little bit confusing as to what they represent precisely. I just get that green = good, red = bad. Overall really nice game with great art and sound design. The music fits perfectly
(PS: played desktop version, had the web version glitch for lvl 2 too)
