Nice work on that.\rHowever, the way you designed your "time bar", it really doesn't look time-related, thus your game feels like it missed the theme : why do white balls would give you time back again ? \rUsing an hourglass and sand, using a setting closer to the prince of persia series would have made it clear.\rApart from that, the audio is pretty repetitive.\r\rAnyway, I think you got part of the deal nailed there, but not everything yet.
