Known bug: sometimes the game will restart back to the first wave. I still have no idea why and I think it'll have to wait till I'm back from the A MAZE.

No doubt why you haven't opt-out the theme category ;)
I like how there is some basic AI that makes them try to rotate around the player.
It's still fun though !
Here's my (useful, I hope ?) feedbacks, in random order:
First thing first, The background. Why is it so uniform ? It feels like you're not moving at all ! It took my a while to realize I was actually doing something with the arrow keys. At the beggining it's just your cube and this uniform background, there's no enemies. You can't really know if you're moving really.
The camera unzooming when you're moving: Great idea, works just fine ! (maybe it could unzoom a bit more? I dunno. :) )
Because of the enemies following you only if you're near of them, sometimes I was just like, looking for them, and it felt broken, like : "there's no enemies left, what the fuck ?!"
If the enemy is already looking at you before you gets near, it's almost impossible to avoid him. Feels unfair.
The "screenshaking effect" (I guess?) when you attack kinda feels weird, I was thinking it was slowing/stopping me to attack.
Visual feedbacks are great in general. Great work on those :)
Oh and also there a bug sometimes, and the game doesnt stop when you die. Frustrating 'cause it feels like you didn't die, but you did. But it's jam anyway.
Too bad there's no sounds // music. At least for audio feedbacks. It would add a lot to the feeling of your game :/
The difficulty curve feels super nice. It's super hard at the beggining (because of some stuff I may have said earlier), but I made my way to the 8th wave :)
It feels super good to learn the new paterns. Makes the player feel like he learned by himself and stuff.
Anyway this was fun to play really. By the way I wanna say that your stream seemed really cool. Couldn't be there the whole time but I think you are good at streaming dev' :)
Great job :)
Sound effects and some fast-paced music would make this game (seem) much more action-packed I think even though it already is action-packed. In 48h isn't always enough time for that (I find that out every time I join :P).
