I legit lol'd at the art. I love the story. Very unique gameplay. I am terrible at these kinds of games but still had fun. Some great humor in this. Overall I think you did a great job!

I like your artwork very much!

Great concept, but I think the countdown does a disservice to your (really cool) main mechanic. Putting a timer on such a mentally taxing mechanic means that it's really hard for players to try to guess what symbols the mean, and basically just have to guess and check their way through. However, this is a really solid mechanic and story!

Totally accurate depiction of real life events,  got 'pols' so I'm pretty close to that teapot myself...
