Thank you for you feedback.
I'm sad you feel that way about the polishing. I tried to make it as polished as possible in the time I had. What kind of polish did you miss?
I will add little bit more direction after the starting area when the jam is over.
Some of the problems you name are part of the game design. I wanted to give the player the feeling that where were many ways to play the game and that your way wasn't necessary the best or the worse way but was the way that you found. I hope that gives a little bit of more perspective.
