Very short game, as in, once it's game over you can only exit. I think I managed to dodge 27 or so demons before I got trapped by a sudden spike in demons.

It would be nice to have a Restart button on game over, to give the game another try. Also, maybe consider a gentler difficulty curve. At the start each demon wave had 1 or 2 enemies. Then the next step up was 5 demons at once.

Thanks for the comments.  I have a way to restart the game ready to post, but I thought that the change might go against the rules of the jam's voting period.  I'll tweak the difficulty curve once the jam finishes.  Demon spawning is currently randomized within a decreasing range, but that's obviously not the best way to go.

Hi, I noticed the link to your source returns a 404. Is the repo set to private? Please make it public.

Developer

It is/was public.  Does it still 404 for you?

Looks like it's working now :)
