Played it cold, then read the source. You asked for the not-nice version, so here it is.
The tell is readable (dim glow to full-bright plus a ring is a clean signal), but it barely matters, because the window is a reaction test, not a read. Early on, the exposed window is 0.44s, well above human reaction time (~0.25s), so you can ignore the glow entirely and just press when the ring shows. Free catch. Past ~52s the window drops under ~0.25s and flips into a coin flip. So it runs boring, then unfair, and never settles in the skill zone. You wanted the player to commit with almost nothing on the board; right now they never have to commit early, they just react late.
Two things I'd try:
1. Hold the exposed window roughly constant (~0.34s) so it is always humanly fair.
2. Move the challenge into the tell: shorten or vary the glow so the press has to be timed off the wind-up, not the flash, and let a press count if it lands in the last sliver of the tell plus the show. That turns "did you notice it" into "did you read it".
Small one: a whiff lunges forward with the same animation as a read, so your own character hides whether you got it, only the text tells you. Worth differentiating.
