Finally at the top of my own Leaderboard. :)
It took me a while to beat the previous top player's score of 17 Waves, but I finally got there!
Thanks to all the players on the Leaderboard for playing, I really appreciate it!
Here's the video of my run:
(I get the very overpowered "Demon Glove" upgrade around the 17:30 mark).

As you can probably tell by watching (or even better, playing), the difficulty curve could definitely use some balancing. Interestingly, it ended up being something like... - Wave 1-4 fairly easy // few enemies, short wave duration - Wave 5-9 pretty damn hard // lots of enemies and projectiles but you're not too upgraded yet - Wave 12+ way too easy // after you acquire the top upgrades. I wanted the fully-upgraded player to feel god-like and overpowered, and I feel I achieved this, but I'm not sure how long it stays "fun" at that level.
Also, the kill quotas that are required to complete each wave get astronomical way too quickly, approaching 6000 kills required at Wave 18. So I'll have to readjust that, as well.
Background music coming soon, hopefully later tonight, as I'm sure you can feel that that's missing as you watch the gameplay. Please stay tuned as we count down to the results tomorrow night!
Also, I'll be playing and rating some more games tonight so leave me a link to your game if you want me to rate it!
Please try your hand at "Darkling!" HTML5 works fine, but the PC version is recommended so you can save your Username. Also, this is the POST JAM version, so if you're going to leave a rating, please rate the Jam version!
