Thank you, I thought I was doing something wrong, I hope you do get back to it someday as it seems like a neat concept for a game. I just finished Bare Metal and I really liked it too. Nice Work.
Thank you :)
By the way, with a help of a designer/artist I've made a "successor" of Bare Metal for the NESdev competition in 2020: https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=22111 (and we got 5th place on it). You may want to check it out (we've yet to make a nicer itch page for it 😅)
