(il a pas un air de minion le personnage?)
Gameplay is not too well though out though, it's easier to just not use the bubbles to thrust so you can focus on shooting the enemies. Alternatively, you can just straight up not shoot the enemies at all and thrust straight downwards, which actually makes you too fast for anything to kill you (even if an enemy spawns underneath you).
After using the latter method, i discovered that after about 800m, nothing spawns anymore, and the game is just watching a number go up.

The game wasn't bad, but it's far from perfect
@roboolet Yay, we noticed that the game lacked challenge, mostly because we lacked the time to tune ennemies and integrate all the great stuff our artists did. We could have made the game "infinite" but since the challenge wasn't there, we decided to compromise and set a maximum depth of 600m for the spawn so that everybody can enjoy the full experience in a short time. We'll improve that later :slight_smile: Anyway, thanks for your constructive review and I hope you'll give it another try when the game will get updated !
