Yes, the restart button is a crime.
The reason there is no restart button is just time. I was way too decadent going about animation, modeling and texturing, had way too much fun and by day 10 i realized that i dont have a game at all, just some cool animations. So the entire logic had to be pressed in the last 4 days. With a restart button i would have to handle some other stuff behind the scenes that an app-restart handles by itself. And NOW i dont think it would be fair to add it, because the submission time is way over.
Anyway, not an excuse, just the reason, im sorry there is none.
