I can't rate the game because I didn't submit a game this time, but I found this because I'm following you on itch.io and the game was awesome! :)

Fun game, with a substantial amount of content, really impressive for the time constraint, my only complaint is if you get to a shop before you have enough currency for the next upgrade it can be frustrating to wait. great job tho :)
