"Today's run is over"
I hate games of this kind. "You failed. Try again tomorrow." I won't be back. It wasn't enough fun to remember. And I'm not likely to upvote because of these reasons (so it won't appear in my 'upvoted submissions')
Coupled with the immediate timer start, no instructions. Meh.
My reaction too, but then I found the button to try the previous days, and it was enough for me to figure out the game :)
