I'm so sorry...I promise the next update will have real gameplay and actual challenge. Almost done with mechanics and ready to work on making it fun...I do have a design plan, it's coming together bit by bit... I just needed to get most of the game elements up and running first.
Should be one more update before Christmas, and that's the one that you need to get. : )
Thanks for your patience all!
