Pretty addictive for how simple it is. I like the scaling effect between levels.

I couldn't figure out if the game has an "end" level to reach or if it's infinitely generating. If it's infinite, maybe keeping a score and awarding points for kills/money/progress would help gauge performance between runs.

Thanks for playing my game! You're right that the game has no end, I would've made something like a score counter but ran out of time :/

Actually very fun to play! Too bad it gets a bit boring when you've seen all the levels. Transition effect is very nice, and the graphics fit the game.

really nice :) and innovated idea on the theme.

a bit difficult to slash. are the levels random generated or does the player start on a random one after death?

@Smiley, the levels are somewhat randomly generated, there is a list of prebuild levels that get randomly chosen based on the current level

I tried to play but it just crashed on me when I hit the space bar.

Seems fun, but the enemies are a little tough to hit, It could just be me being bad but I don't know. Nice job on a fun game that fits the theme well.

Great take on the theme! The combat was a bit too difficult and the puzzles quickly got a bit monotone. This has great potential though. Nice work!

I like the game but the enemies attack a little bit too fast which makes the game really hard. Good work tho!

Your take on the theme is nice :3
But the loop at the end, resulting in just closing the game without having won is kinda frustrating :/

Really really cool. I especially like the attack from the enemies which makes the screen shake like thunder :). Very good theme implementation!

Nice game, I love the transition between levels. There was no way I could survive the level with four enemies in the upper-right corner.
