I agree, counting game is way too difficult - as a programmer, I’m only used to 1-s and 0-s, none of this “2 3 4 5” business.
Totally fair criticism. We had grand ideas of a story of course, but didn’t have a clear outline for it and so it doesn’t really “come together” in that sense. So we kind of decided “ah, a slice-of-life” thing is fine too, and to just try our best to make the individual interactions fun but not really connected.
So - agreed. Glad you still found it fun though :)
