Whether you think you can defend your game or not, you should at least have the common sense to see that that 4 people (All much more skilled than you) telling you to fix it means that you should probably fix it.
Okay, 5 people: I'd say if you touch up on the dialogue (as in, make it sound more like people interacting, not one guy after another speaking in strict, rigid English) and give your villain ample reasoning behind coming for the mayor (Give him some sort of backstory, it's always nice to have a multifaceted antagonist), you can probably move on.
