It would be quite nice if the amount of enemies was smaller and the bullets were slower meaning the player would need to lead the target a bit. This would play well with the movement of the moon, requiring small aiming adjustments based on the current position.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Attack waves. The harder difficulty is, quite frankly, impossible because the assault never ceases. If only one group of enemies appeared at a time, even four attack directions would be manageable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- More enemy types. Faster enemies, armored enemies, evasive enemies, partly invisible enemies, etc. Combining enemy types with different wave compositions would give you a lot of options to add variety and difficulty to the gameplay over time."},{"author_name":"wavegunner232","author_uid":"57052","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:39pm","epoch":1450301640,"text":"HuvaaKoodia honestly i can't believe i did not think of this.

It made it more challenging because the player then has to focus on aiming directly at the enemies.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A few minor things:\r<br\/>     - The bullets didn't come out in a predictable manner.
