No worries, your game certainly isn't a bad one, it just seems like it didn't have enough time to bake in the proverbial oven - but honestly, there are almost no games in this contest that don't feel like that in some respect or another!

It didn't! Much more baking required...the dough was still raw.
It was my fault for planning something so ambitious. My goal was to have that whole starting area & quest completed but...time was the enemy. I am glad people are giving me the same consensus: "Seems like it's good, if only there was more..." It really motivates me to continue the project, so thank you!
