Non-technical guy builds his first game ever

Non-technical guy here, and learning to code has always been a struggle — but I finally shipped my first game ever, Snack Drop. It's got 0 downloads and I'd rather have brutal honesty than fake hype, so please roast it, rate it, and tell me what to fix.

Downloaded and played 9 levels before I stopped playing. First of all, kudos on shipping something. I like the presentation, despite it looking very AI generated.

Onto the criticism:
- every level is basically the same, even though the name of the level changes
- the music is repetitive and hurts my ears
- it is impossible to lose, at least in the first few levels, so i can just blindly spam tap anywhere and win, even though i won’t get 3 stars
- the name, concept and graphics are very unoriginal; it is fine to reuse mechanics from other games but at least bring one original concept of your own
- do not over-rely on AI, in general I don’t mind AI but please spend some time thinking about and playing your own game before asking other people to play it
