First of all, thank you for the effort and for being honest. Also, cute avatar.
Second, I had less than three days to work on this game. You're absolutely right, there's definetely a lot of options to expand on the concept, and many adjustments to make.
Finally, about the game being "meh". If you look at the comments on my submission page, some people call it "one of the best games in this jam". I know it's not true, but my point, I guess, is, different strokes for different folks. You can never please everybody, no matter what you do.
Cheers.
