How does your game fit the theme?
The game starts off very slow and easy but quickly gets more difficult and explosive making the beginning a calm before the storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all code and assets from scratch except for the soundtrack.

The art is simple but effective, music and audio is addictive and the gameplay is fun. Good work <3
Great top-down shooter! Love the simplistic graphics! Even though I was playing the web version where the glow graphics didn't work, I still thought it wasn't too bad.
Game gets stale after a little bit though (there were only 3 enemies I've encountered)
Super fun submission! I'm particularly impressed that you decided to add a screen shake toggle setting in a game jam. Only feedback I would give would be to add a movement indicator for the enemies. I found it hard to tell where I was moving when there wasn't much XP on the screen.
It respects the theme, it's fun ,simple and easy to understand. Only two things I'd like to say: no too sure but do the enemies have a dash mechanic? And, not a big fan of the game pausing during gameplay to choose an upgrade.
Here lately I've been a sucker for survivors-style games, and this one was a good time. Great work! Congrats and good luck!
Your game reminds me a little bit of Vampire Survivors, except with player attacking instead of auto attack.
I usually do not like these kinds of games (except Vampire Survivors itself, but usually don't like most of the clones), but I did like your particular game.
One thing I really loved was how your game with simple shapes as a vast majority of the graphics might be yet still better in terms of gameplay than three quarters of all the Vampire Survivor clones out there including those with fancy graphics. Not only that, but it might, ironically, be better even in the grahpics department than some of those games!
The graphics were minimal yet I consider them very good, even in just the web version. You're right that they look a bit better in the downloaded version, so I went ahead and played that version.
The gameplay is really fun and your game is really well done, you did a nice job on this one!
