What i meant is, there is no character or personality i can relate to or enjoy playing as. Work to your strengths, i'm not good at animating characters, so the biggest animated character in my game is a robot with treads for feet, so its just a repeated texture and it rotates.
Just because your game may be similar to another does not mean it will turn out the exact same. Design choices and personal preferences will always create a unique game if you're not attempting to 1-1 recreate the other game. Create what you want, not what the people want.
