Creative hobbies are really the best remedy for work and depression. Because freedom and choice are the best sides of art. But when art begins to sell, of course this is a completely different story ... Therefore, I believe that it should never be rushed. You perfectly coped with this project and did the right thing that you shared with other people. The game is silly and sweet at the same time, and this is already enough to have a good time for players.
As for your art and game style, it’s hard for me to judge this since I still remember ZX Spectrum from my very early childhood and I like this style nostalgically.
I wish you inspiration for life and new projects. And do not rush to do without romance - it is the salt of life ;-)
