Felt pretty unfair, but maybe there was something in the upgrades menu that I'd missed. :sweat_smile: \n\nReally impressive how fun and addicting this ended up being. I'd have really liked to have seen more dynamic sprites (four directions at least, preferably eight, rather than two) even without animation, but honestly, the fun factor ended up more than making up for that little gripe. :stuck_out_tongue: \n\nReally well done--glad I played this! :grin: ","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":817540,"author_name":"elysiagriffin","author_uid":"elysiagriffin","epoch":1649469360,"text":"Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!\n\nIf you\u2019d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: \nhttps:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/1450167991?t=05h02m47s\n\nGood luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D\n\n\ud83d\udc9c Elysia Griffin AKA Button Feedback Lady\n\nhttps:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/elysiagriffin","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":823457,"author_name":"Lychee","author_uid":"lychee","epoch":1649623929,"text":"Wow this game was a lot of fun and had a good amount of depth! The progression is pretty slow at the start but I like how you can start to stack an insane number of upgrades to shoot really fast. The only thing that felt unfair was the bosses were just so fast, that if you don't have enough movement speed there's no way to get away from them and it just kind of guarantees your failure.

I kinda just stuck around at the start of the area and didnt even notice the item shop at the start and wasted it on the ice shard before I realised how much time it cost. After a while with the passive upgrades and all the routing I had to do I felt it was a nice game to play. I had issues with lagging on the webgl once I had so many enemies on screen and then the count guy appeared and I couldnt even run away from then and went from 12 minutes to 0 so quickly I was kinda upset by that.
