Hi !
Thank you for your very constructive feedback, it's very important for us.
I won't answer point per point, but know that I take note of everything you said for future games. We made this game during a student project, and we had great limitations that led to most of the things you don't like about the game. I'm thinking about creating a new team to make a commercial version of this concept, longer, and more polished. The story and graphics are things I want to make better. For the advertisement, I know the references you quote, and yes, without the limitations it will surely be like them. Be sure to follow me on Twitter as I will share more about the possible sequel.
Thank you again !
