The risk/reward system of the buffs is really interesting, and fits the scaling theme nicely. I would've liked to see the level and score when I got a game over for more of a sense of progress - I got a few levels in, but I wasn't looking at the number at the bottom when I was dodging bullets. Some enemies and buffs could use some balancing, but overall this is great for being made within the deadline. Overall fun and exciting game!
