confusing UI, feeling ripped off!

I wanted to like this, the art and music are cool, but the UI is confusing and is not explained properly in the tutorial, neither are the game mechanics. leading to a frustrating gaming experience. it says you should match shop size or type with traffic speed, but how are you supposed to know which ones match? the colors of the traffic input nodes are too similar, also what's with the 2 numbers for money white and green? the clock symbol is not explained. what's the percentage? people served or percent of goal income? The 1/2 labelling for days is confusing, it should be 1 and the second 2 etc. you never seem to have enough money early on to build more than one store so I feel like I'm missing something, I just wish it was better explained.

Disappointing

I enjoyed “Swim Out” by the same developer, so I was expecting a good game. But as other reviewers have said, it’s confusing. I gave up pretty quickly after failing to figure out the rules and the UI.
