About the upgrades, It's cool having so many options but I didn't know how much money I had to pay the initial upgrades. I lacked context at this point of the game.
I also liked the idea that upgrading the game was like a minigame but it was not very clear why was I playing that game or what would happen if I lost.
The art and the music are cool too.
Congrats!
Otherwise, the game looks decent and polished. It's just too bad the upgrade mechanic is killing it for me.
