It most definately is not a fugue. It's a 14-measure long canon in 4 parts, followed by a bit of free counterpoint to finish it off and a few measures of looser imitative counterpoint.
The exposition is not there, there are no episodes, no strettos, nothing really that identifies this as anything other than a straight-forward canon.
However, that said, it is still interesting musically. I find some of the happenstance harmonies a bit jarring and directionless, but the overall effect is still not too bad.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
