Legit fun. Reminded me of a 2000s flash game in a good way. 5 is my nemesis.

It took me a little while to clock the timer mechanic, specifically how it carried over between levels (at least I think it does?) That made the "3" level particularly tough before I figured it out, as I'd be getting there with not nearly enough time to complete it. Once it clicked, this was surprisingly satisfying? Very simple and easy but the movement feels tight and I could imagine spending a few hours grinding out a speedrun of this tbh :)
