We went for similar games I feel like we both went the opposite direction with the upgrades :P
In yours I get upgrade every 5-10 seconds, in mine you almost feel like you get none xD
If we meet in the middle our games would be perfect!
But with all seriousness! I know how balance can be hard to achieve especially in 2 days.
I really like the portal upgrade system! That you need to navigate the level so that you take portals into consideration! Very smart design!
But that upgrade pop-up every 10 seconds was killing me! Let me play the game!
Maybe adding less frequent but more powerfull upgrades could balance things out a little?
Anyway!
Good job submitting such a complex game in 2 days! Did you even sleep?

Thanks for playing and commenting first!
You are right that this genre's game pace is a bit off. I also notice this, especially if the first few upgrades aren't that effective. At the same time, I am glad you enjoy the game design of portals and the twisted gameplay. It affects you and your enemies, so you need to navigate around the level wisely.
As you can see, I barely had time to develop the game during this jam. It is already a miracle for me to complete the submission, lol. I will continue to work and polish those designs to make the gameplay more balanced and fun.
