Took me a while to understand what each of the stats meant, but once I figured those out and realized that you can dash with Shift, I managed to reach 29k. Would've liked to see some boss enemy or something, but presumably that's also something that got scrapped cause of the time limit.

Yea, unfortunately every enemy variety except the basic one got cut. Would have liked at least one more enemy type as well as one more type of weapon, but oh well.
And then I also completely forgot to explain what the upgrades were as well as how they're mostly percentage based. So something like upgraded bullet amount will be much more effective on the secondary weapon which starts with 3 bullets than the main weapon which starts with 1.
