Art direction is peak. The problem with the game is the art / gameplay balance is broken so it feels like an empty promise.
Sorry to hear you feel this way!
From the very start, the concept of the game was to make a simple yet repeatable arcade experience, and since you spend a lot of time in a single screen, I wanted to make sure it was as satisfying as possible with polished visuals and sound.
You have achieved your goal perfectly then, the game is extremely polished and sadisfactory
