Pangaea666: Finally got it, with a handsome bit of luck. 4 red crosses, but it still got through. Phew!
Didn't find it forgiving at all; I'd get a recorded error when I had the arrows in the right spot and know I hit the right keys, so it must have been sensitive. Just glad I got through in the end. I'm not good with stuff like that.
pi4t: Maybe you were suffering from a bit of lag, so the game registered your keypress a little after you actually pressed the buttons?
No lag with the system I have. Just bought a brand new computer. But I got through it in the end so all is well. Needed 15-20 tries though :D
Finished the game as well yesterday, and it was lovely. Bit of an odd ending, but a great game. So many funny moments and 4th wall shenanigans. 98 copper pots..... =D
