I'm working on the post LD51 version of the game right now, but as a quick hot-fix I've uploaded a new build where the timer is 30 seconds instead of 10 seconds. Obviously this no longer fits with the theme of the Ludum Dare Jam but although switching every 10 seconds is a cool idea on paper, I think adventure games are a slower paced experienced and 10 seconds makes the game too stressful/annoying. I think 30 seconds should still give the player some pressure but also allow them time to read things properly without being rushed.
