Wow! man, thank you for your detailed review, I really appreciate it!
I'd just like you to read the game's description first, it explains some of the points you mentioned :)
Including why the game just cuts and resets when you lose (I know that it is not a good way to do that but that's what my time allowed me to do), I even based my story on that hahah!
The second point is the lives, I totally agree with what you said, but the thing is, that the lives system is a part of a bigger thing that I haven't implemented yet (I plan on polishing the game and publish it as a mobile game).
Also, I plan on adding various obstacles / enemy types, more interactions with the monster chasing you, power-ups, score boosters, and more...
About the sounds and music, the game is atmospheric (supposed to be), this will not be achievable without those, but couldn't add them for the reasons mentioned above...
And finally, thanks again for your great review Marxy , it illustrates some extremely important points from a game-design perspective!
This is some of the progress I made on the game the day right after the submission was closed, just in case you were interested and haven't see it yet :)
