The music is great and also the overall style of the game.\nSome suggestions:\n- xp needed for first upgrades could be lower to engage player quicker\n- 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)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":713440,"author_name":"MalusKhan","author_uid":"maluskhan","epoch":1633351697,"text":"Very good experience !
