Thank you very much for playing my game.
I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Yes, that's a valid criticism regarding the reward/penalty system, and there is indeed a missing dialogue that explains what went wrong.
I mentioned this somewhere before, but the scoring system is currently more of an optional visual feature and does not have any real impact in the game jam version because the proper gameplay integration is still missing. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and wasn't able to implement it.
My main goal was to get the core gameplay loop up and running.
Once again, thank you very much for your kind and detailed feedback.
