This was a lot of fun! I enjoyed running around and spraying enemies with arrows. Controls felt smooth and comfortable!

Why does the spawn rate being lower cause more enemies to spawn? Otherwise an amazing game 10/10.

I really enjoyed this, I didn't always know how I died since it seems like the damage happens over time. Played it somewhere between 5-10 times. really loved the fireball enemy, they were chaotic in the best way.

Enemies did really destroy my fps. :D That's an original concept, simple, and well executed. I liked the variety of enemies, and the fact that upgrades really feels like upgrade. It would be nice to have some kind of music!

It's fun, but kinda hard to know why you died

I get the concept and it's definitely an original idea. Unfortunately wasn't able to enjoy it that much, i don't exactly have a very powerful computer.

Haha liked that it was kinda like a pop up killing frenzy. Power ups felt impactful which was a nice. I took to a carpet bombing strategy that worked well.

Sprites were nice, although ultimately my screen looked like a chaotic pixel dumpster fire, god damn NFTs lol

Simple, but interesting game idea. It does fit the theme well and it's fun although very short. It might be worth emphasizing the "you only take damage when your FPS goes below a certain amount" part. I didn't realize that was causing my death the first couple of times. Otherwise though, good job on this game!

I thought this was very innovative with how your health was tied to FPS. Fun to play.

Might be neat if you made the waves smaller and added some upgrades between waves.

Thanks for the game pad support!
