This game would be playable, except that it includes an energy mechanic that slowly restores over time. 

This is either a terrible mistake or a predatory monetization tactic. Either way, when I realized it existed, I stopped playing.

No one thinks energy mechanics are fun and quirky. There is no reason players should have to wait real-time hours in order to progress in your game. There have been games that have leveraged monotonous waiting (doing absolutely nothing in the game) as a mechanic and they have all failed. The only way energy exists in successful games is as a gatekeeping mechanism that can be bypassed with money. And the only way waiting has been even slightly successful in games is when it offers something to do in the game while you wait (so not really waiting, just doing something else).

Fix this terrible mechanic. I will actually be able to play your game, and I will replace this comment with a real review.
