The game was not challenging at all though, I had more resources than I could ever use and tons(TONS) of little minions summoned.
Fun entry, good work!
Had to turn off the sound tho. (dont take it personally, I do that for alot of games)
It does seem it's a little hard to balance keeping up my numbers and keeping them upgraded enough to fend off the hordes. Also, I'll admit there's something you do here that tweaks my OCD: the gauges on the left for how many of each kind of minion you have are NOT in the same order as the buttons for summoning them!
I got to night 8 on my first try as well.
Feedback: *(same as the comment above)* You can make the order of things in UI - like the summons list and the inventory - more consistent, always starting with one element - like mud - and then the other and so on.
Solid entry overall!
