Enemies stopped spawning. I can still move around the room though. I came out ahead with $1460 though, so not bad for the time I put in! Honestly, the intro text was kind of rough, especially with the visual effect (post-processing?) that was used to bend the image. It cut off some of the text, but I got the general idea. But the gameplay was where it was at! Solid foundation, could add on quite a bit from here. Congrats on the submission!
