Congrats on create as much of this game as you did! I started teaching myself how to program games 4 years ago, and I know how difficult it can be to teach yourself game programming. I really like the approach your team took with this project: learning first, quality second is the best attitude to have when learning to make games. It's always rough to have to cut features and deviate from your original vision because of time and experience constraints, but I'm glad your team took the entire project as a learning experience first and foremost. If you keep that attitude going into post-release development and going into your next projects, you'll be sure to do well in the future.
