I farmed good

I got really into it, my initial goal was becoming powerful enough so I can slay the powerful demons in one hit. Super fun figuring the strategy and balance between summoners and powerups there. Getting this powerful took a couple runs, then I wanted to find out a way to preserve my legacy, so I hunkered down in a corner. But ultimately, in a final reversal of the demon-human role, the large demons that were now coming in swarms sealed my dark presence as I could not even move a tiny bit anymore to collect my gold. True reversal. The whole concept of the game was hilarious, with the farming of the demons for gold, I loved that from the get-go. Had a great time with this, very well done!

Nicely balanced game difficulty. I like that the game was pretty simple to understand. Just attack, kill buy powerups and stuff with the loot :smile: Quite addictive.

@captaindreamcast You exceeded even my best score, and yeah you got that right, my intent was for the player to juggle survive/economy/upgrades to stay alive and get the upgrade to one shot everyone and after that only focus on killing and healing. Really glad you liked it :)

A great game loop, and quite fun to play. Definitely satisfying to one shot the creatures once you've spent the cash on upgrades. I would have liked a little more feedback from the enemies, at times it seemed they attacked me a bit randomly and I felt like I died sometimes without seeing any attack animation. Great job though, I enjoyed the game.

Fun little game. Would be cool if the coins sucked up to you, the hitbox felt a little strange at times. Gameplay loop was fun though and once you oneshot things the game is a breeze. Good job

Surprisingly addictive. I also like the paper mario style of shooting. I would add some feedback to make it a bit more agile. (Light up more when you take damage, make particles spawn when an enemy is killed etc.)

Fun game, I like that it's easy to learn/play, but gets progressively more difficult the longer it goes. Nice ballance and love the sound effects too. Well done!
