Yeah we did not make it quite clear but the buffs stack - you get faster, gain more HP and gain more damage. (Your guns change graphics, sounds and all!)
The enemies steadily increase in HP and maybe even in damage (I wasn't programming that part I am not entirely sure)
So you are meant to farm every night or the enemies get out of control.
