Thanks for the feedback!
For the theme I didn’t interpret “scale” literally as in size but more like by upgrading your ship you are “scaling up” your power and you can fight stringer ennemies. Not to most direct interpretation for sure but that’s the way I got inspired
Also yeah if you don’t upgrade your defense enough you’re gonna get killed instantly, I thing for the purpose of the jam not allowing the player to respawn was a big mistake on my part
