Some suggestions:
- xp needed for first upgrades could be lower to engage player quicker
- some sound effects for the lasers would be nice (e.g. pulsating sound implemented as a separate layer synced with music and toggled when the laser is firing)
I love the music, the art, the upgrade system! Damn it's clever and unexpected too see a well thought trough upgrade system in a jam game. Fits the theme very well.
I really enjoyed it. Given enough it could be a great bullet-hell rogue-like or smth...
Love it, amazing job!
Good luck!
Very fun game, exploding ships is satisfaction.
It would have been interesting to have the negative effects have a random order, so each play is different. Also, if there was a visible marker showing the radius at which you get hurt from using the gun too close to enemies, that would be nice, I killed myself like that because it was hard to tell if I would hurt myself.
Was really fun though, well done!
Nice work!
