It didn't give any feedback that the score was submitted, and for a post-jam version I would suggest giving that some more love so that it becomes a reward in its own when you've died. For the game itself I never got to a point where I figured out any strategy, besides kill all things. I was guessing that it was bad to let things reach the middle and bad to have appendage up and exposed, but maybe there's a possible improvement in the early phases of the game to make it visually clearer what the player should focus on. \rBut don't get these comments wrong.
