Would have been nice to click play and go, setting the option to fullscreen would prevent the need to scale the browser zoom level. Once I was able to play I understood how I need to progress, though the early game is painfully slow to get the needed upgrades to feel like you are doing anything. The artwork was nicely done, though some scaling issues with some of the art. After dying to enemies after making it seemingly far, I had to give up! Overall nice job with the entry!

Interesting premise! I think the first several spawns were too similar, and it takes a while for the action to start. I think the difficulty should be dropped a bit so it feels less repetitive, but the growth concept is strong!

For anyone who gets stuck on the first page, scroll the page larger in your browser (like 200%) and then you'll start seeing more!

For some reason I am stuck in the "Welcome to Upgrade Overload" screen. Is it a bug?

Sweet, I got past the grid of points, managed to get on to the lift and then died soon after!

Pros:

  • Fun mechanic
  • Rewarding to overcome a particular section, reminds me of dark souls somehow
  • Nice art style

Cons:

  • I found it frustrating, some of the enemies come out of nowhere and you die pretty quick (are lives meant to set you back?)
  • Lift collision is strange, when going up it kind of pushes you up incrementally
  • No music or sound effects (on web build at least)
