#4I love it, accurate description

#5Sometimes it increases the hit counter by one, others by two - why?
Seems to be correlated with how much time passed between two hits.

Pretty sure you get two points if you hit it quicker. So if you let the dot rotate around to get the segment the next time you miss out.

#7Love the mechanic where the more quickly you click the next one the more points you get.
There should be a timed mode to encourage rapid clicking (i.e., score the most points within 30s or 1min).

You can get more than 2 if you hit two in quick succession. I think the max is 5 (tested with blind double-clicks until I hit two in a row).

#9This is well made! Easy to understand, challenging, and a hint of variable reward.

#10It seems possible to click when the circle intersects the shape, but still lose. I guess it's based on the centre of the circle, but feels a little frustrating to me.
