Is it common that what you come up with in this practice seems like total shit to you?

I just spent the last six hours re-working all the assets in my game  because I still cant figure out a good hunk of code and what I have found is that I am terrible at UI design in general.  If I looked at my game without any prior knowledge I would just be confounded on what to do, and that is beyond the point of the obvious lack of direction.  I tried to do do something about having to make the evolutionary choices of a tree, but I think that was just a wee bit beyond me!

Anyways I am still in it!  Trying to make it into a playable game in the next 24 hrs is my goal.  Oh and sound.
