What this game really needs is both something - anything - to happen and make it more fun, and some visual feedback to make it more enjoyable. In the current state, it mostly feels like a chore and isn't particularly rewarding.
The idea is good, and there is potential in the game, but there should be a focus on having it be fun to play, and I'm sure there could be just one small tweak to make the whole experience come together.
Good work still, keep at it!
