Visuals are nice, but the game itself is shallow. Probably, the concept will have to be overhauled completely to get rid of game jams' cheap feel to it. What I mean is upon defining the time given for a work/project as a whole the time you can spend working on a fundamental core elements is also predetermined, that's not bad nor good, it's realistic(you won't be able complete any task otherwise).
Hard to say whether you have or don't have a knack for developing games at this raw point. In any case, I hope to see your next works in the nearest future.
I love this so much for what it is and I really hope you plan on expanding more on the universe!
