Obviously the graphics weren't very good, but I didn't mind so much. The music, while spare, captured the mood and tenseness of the game well.

It was also pretty funny the way you explained the missing levels. I have to say that minigames with different mechanics are always ambitious. Even if they're not hard to write, they take so much time. You might be better served just sticking with a single mechanic. It would have given you more time for polish, anyway.
