I love games like this. Sadly because of the amount of lag I experienced, I couldn't really enjoy it. The music and visuals felt pretty good. I was a little confused on how turrets spawn or what exactly the things you picked up for XP were. I did live stream the game if you want to see my reaction. Good job! wish I could have had a better experience.

Thanks for playing! The lag spikes are a result of the web build. I uploaded a Windows build as well, if you would like to give it another shot. I originally had manual turret placement, but it felt bad because it was hard to place a bunch of turrets and run around at the same time. I decided to go with the more survivors-like approach and have the only controls be WASD, with turrets just being placed randomly in a small area around the player.
I tihnk this was a cool idea. I would've liked to put this game on full screen and there was slow down a bit on the web version. I don't know if you had a downloaded version. But I think that's a limitation with web. We also had framerate issues on our game as well.
I would've liked if the game was a bit more active, it was fun for a little just walking around collecting stuff, but I didn't really feel any of the upgrades beyond the game lasting longer between my two playthroughs.
Also, I noticed that the game eventually just kept giving me firerate upgrades and nothing else, not sure if this was a design decision or bug, but it felt like it took away the one piece of input I was contributing. Made me kinda sad :(. But it was fun :)
