I was originally skeptical when I started the game because of all of the text that appears immediately. Maybe you can have a simple start screen and if the player presses 'esc', then show the upgrade options. Also, my system struggled a bit so the game was running quite slow.
Having said all that, I was pleasantly surprised. I actually think this game has potential to be something pretty good. I liked the visual style but at the same time I found it difficult to look at (a little disorienting). The music choice was great and really help set the atmosphere.
Overall this was a pretty cool experience and a nice take on the theme 'leaps and bounds'. I'd be interested to see more of this game in the future.
