I start to believe you can't read, or you're willingly playing dumb.
- It's a short game and you didn't build the engine from scratch, it's not criticism it's stating a fact, so don't expect me to believe you pulled that one out of a coal mine with a pick-axe. as it's a side project (as you said it yourself) it's not crazy conspiracy to interpret your behavior as lazy cash-grab regarding your latest release, if you don't see it , I do, and I let you know about it, take it into consideration or not it's really not my problem.
- the artwork isn't as bad as it is inconsistent, most of it are simple lineart with flat colors that doesn't take much time to do, and know how to make, and it's certainly not expensive. it's not a fancy expectation to wish you would uniform all of it, with a cohesive graphic identity, the art doesn't have to be great, but I don't think it fulfill it's purpose as of now.
- there are several other area that aren't perfect either with your work but you seem to address those issues accordingly, and honestly even if the story is far fetched and in no way representative of any realistic human behavior, I had a good laugh.
I say what I say because I care, call it though love.
