This is very fun, cool art style and design, the music blends very well, I spent minutes and minutes exploring the maps behind diamonds to buy upgrades, these are cool and creative, I played until level 11 and I was constantly surprised by new things. Congratulations on the work, it really was very good!

Hey guys, just played your game for a while, good job! Here a bit of feedback (please take with a grain of salt, just my personal opinion):

Good things:
- nice art style
- really like the different enemy attack styles
- upgrades are cool

Not so super great things:
- can only attack OR walk is very annoying (at least I couldn't figure out how to shoot during movement)
- I have absolutly no clue what I am doing in the game
- there are no sacrifices, so not really theme related

https://www.screencast.com/t/5VJMKxDkYs made it to lvl 21. I'm not sure it was ever going to stop. So i just stopped. I was hoping for a boss or something. xD But anyway. Nice little game with fun tactics. Gets old after lvl10 because you've pretty much seen every thing there is to see except i did get the pyro once which was really neat. I liked the music thought that was cool. The art was decent. ummmm I'm guessing the theme was based on when you die you sacrifice another guy, but since i didn't ever die, this never happened. xD

Overall it plays nicely! The pop-up dialogs are a little misaligned compared to the rest of the game. But still, good work!

Awesome gameplay (reminds me Path of Exile for some reason =P). Made it to level 16, then read previous comment and stopped. I guess, some kind of logical ending would be nice, but anyway you managed to accomplish a lot for such short time. Good job!

I found a bug: you can click buy if you don't have enough dough and then you'll loose that much (meaning go to negative amounts) without getting the weapon. Really nice entry, aiming weapons are a scam.

Nice entry! I really liked the gameplay, and it felt very polished! The music served the mood of the game very well too because it was paired nicely with the graphics. I just didn't really see how the theme fit into the game very much. Other than that, I had a great time, and I really loved the game!

Cool game, fun gameplay, took some time to understand controls lol, yet sometimes it takes time to find the key, just explored the map for 2 mins doing nothing.

I initially had some problems when trying to move and shoot at the same time, but the game let me had just enough space to breathe to move and then shoot from a safe distance. It's quite amazing that the team managed to make such a complete and expanding experience in the allotted time.

It's a bit of a bummer that there's no finite end, given that the game wasn't that challenging to begin with. But the setting was about right and the artwork had its own sense of charm. I found the enemies a bit too visually inconsistent though, but it's great that they have tells about where they're going to attack.

Congratulations on making it through the jam, and happy new year! [Our team](twitter.com/whalesandgames) sends their regards! :whale:

Nice top down shooter! The controls were good and there's a nice variety of weapons and enemy types.
