Looks like you created all that art work in a short span of time. Though art style is unique but gameplay is purely based on luck which m=prevents you from trying again.

The innovation of the game is also noteworthy, as it is linked to another game by Cukeds, and players can seamlessly transition between the two. The humor in the game is top-notch.
