Hey, I won't defend it for being "unique" or "cool", but I did genuinely like the art and the designs. If that makes me an idiot, so be it.
Yeah, sure the game is unpolished and all that, but the overall gameplay loop was there and had me motivated enough to see the self-deprecating ending.
I think it'll be less than 2-60 years until there's improvement. Going into something like this with a time limit is challenging. Accept the things that could be better, but don't think you can't improve - I'm new to game dev, but I do know programming gets easier with practice (including knowing when to search for what online).
