Bar Up! by realicraft
I was trying to go for something here, but ran out of time.
Changelog (Apr. 4) - fixed issue preventing exporting to HTML5 - fixed issue where "buying" upgrade 2 caused pickups to stop spawning

Game was good though and ran flawlessly
BTW your itch.io page isn't set up to use the HTML5 build in browser, you need to set "Kind of project" to HTML5 and then tick the "play in browser" checkbox under your uploaded html5 zipfile.
Not sure if it was a bug but the game never ended for me. I was just zooming around with 0 hp still picking up things.
Zooming around was fun though XD and you nailed the pick up noise.
Graphics were straight forward and good. Not sure what the items are that give the negative sound and subtract time but one quickly learns to avoid them. Moving and collecting the 3 good items works well, the background was interesting. I'd be curious to see this game again when more is complete including the upgrades.
It seems to have potential to be fun and easy to pick up. Keep working on it and good effort so far.
Time management is a challenge, especially in the compo. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. Here's hoping next time goes better!
