Hey thanks for playing and the tough feedback! I'm definitively going to improve the sound and graphics (or lack thereof) and hopefully that will make the gameplay less obtuse. I'm thinking once I work on clarity, the amount of mechanics won't feel as overwhelming.
Your last sentence really hits the nail on the head. I need to reduce mental overhead for players in anyway I can.
Thanks a lot for the criticism and for playing in general! I hope it'll be better next DD.
