Nowadays marketing is everything. Starting out young people with a colorful and engrossing playtime game is right in the middle of the market now.
Several years ago, I saw an ad for a game called "Army Men". All it consisted of was animated little plastic Army men that would obey your orders. They looked like toys because they WERE toys. They even had their feet glued to a plastic base. The movie "Toy Story" used them to great advantage.
You could run them all around your house in platoons; throwing grenades at the washing machine - whatever took your fancy. I succumbed to the hype and bought a copy. It was a sublime joy to use. I loved it. I even went out and bought the sequel to it. Turning on the stove burner and marching a group of them to their doom was FUN! They would actually melt.
So, I feel that perhaps Auran has jammed their tongue into one cheek and put forth some effort into a true GAME - not trying to be a simulator or anything else. Just a game.
Try to give them the benefit of the doubt here. If I were working there, and continually heard complaints of fix this, fix that, do this do that, I'd seek some prime time working on a fun project just to ease the tension. This would prepare me to get back to work on the important things refreshed.
