I think I got a somewhat playable game and I have an idea, too
So, the idea is that you have to complete the level in the given time limit, if not, you reset and have to play again, I know, not the best, look I could not wake up at 3 am even though I put an alarm, so after 4 hours, I woke up up had 30 minutes until my exam, so, maybe next time, I will be more prepaired.
