I'm a little dissatisfied with the mechanic by which Jaffar regains the upper hand. I'd like it if the "Jaffar is Winning" effect were more closely tied to player actions instead of simply being on a timer, as it were. I do, however, like the way the "timer" effect gives Sinbad a brief advantage when beginning each challenge and then makes it harder for him to complete the challenge once Jaffar is Winning. It'd be nice to produce that effect some other way, though.

Ideas?
