I'm sorry you didn't like it but thank you for playing and telling me your thoughts.
I understand and am aware of the points you have. I know of it being a problem of how obtuse area designs are, especially for a game where there's a more stated goal than most YN-fangames. I'm inclined to believe that contributed to the whole "everything felt useless" feeling you had. I would definitely try to clamp down on that in an update or redo.
Thank you again for playing and giving me your thoughts.
