Thank you for your honest and exhaustive review. We gave you a game. Turns out it's not what you want. I feel like I've stolen you time though, and in hope of making it up to you, I offer you this puzzle game: https://bodro.itch.io/klss
KlSS was made in 2 or 3 weeks (instead of 48 hours) and is more traditional (it eventually ends).
For "Not What I Want", we already have a fixed build, but can't upload it until the end of the rating process.
