I played until the level with 3 lanes and stopped there. While the gameplay is well crafted, I don't think that I like the amount of pressure it puts on me. Memorizing the letters and timings into your muscle memory takes a while and I quickly tossed trying to be quick. The game changing the letters didn't really help with that.
While I enjoyed the visuals and the challenges the game offered me, I didn't have a lot of fun. I don't know what it is, but it might be too many mechanics going on too early in the game or that there are no ways to save your ass (being able to kick wrong cakes from the lane). Whenever I lost track, things got bad really quickly. Which is amazing for the theme to be fair.
So I think it's not the gameplay and its premise that are hurting the fun, but the difficulty curve and the way some mechanics are treated might be something to look into going forward.
A issue for me was that it gets too hard too suddenly with the level where you have to hold shift sometimes.
Other than that, its definitely top three of the games I've tried so far! Great work!
