Little rough but otherwise a commendable entry. Least it is better then a lot of the titles I get sent via steam curator to play.


That was so pleasent. Great work

I found it really enjoyable! I loved the enemy and upgrade variety, it was all very well made. What I really appreciate is how fast the game goes, which is a nice contrast to slower more time-consuming games like Vampire Survivors.  I would have loved some sort of twist however - something to make it unique and stand out.

as timbobjoe said, please add endless mode. I really want to play this game more, it's so fun. Also a difficulty selection. It's easy, just increase or decrease all healths by a certain percentage to make it harder or easier. Please, this game is so well made and fun! Also I can't tell if the enemies get more health as the game goes on, so if they don't you should add that too. No pressure at all though, I know game development is NOT easy.

thank you! game seems well received by yโ€™all overall, looking to build it out a bit more. working on endless mode along with some other suggestions like difficulty scaling and some type of meta progression between runs .


may have to wait till voting ends for the game jam to release the updated version of game, but will see

Of course, I love helping people out. Don't want it to become a situation where you get so much pressure for a game that it isn't fun to make anymore though, because that happens to a lot of people and it sucks.

I spend 90% of the game, running away from the boss to not end it...

Sadly some upgrades become worthless after a few dozen levels... or stop showing up.

can you add endless mode

oo this could be fun, Iโ€™ll see if I can add it as a choice at the start which mode to play
