Thank you for the criticism! It is greatly appreciated!
You bring up some great points. With the constraints of the game jam, I was doing a lot of implementing of different mechanics, and in trying to create, combine, and explain it all, some of it made it to the cutting room floor.
Who knows? Maybe I will revisit it again in the future to improve the game, or maybe I will learn from this submission and make stronger games in the future.
I do love the fact that you hate this game. You are the first commenter to openly tell me how much you hate it and in great detail. Thank you for that! It helps a lot!
