The graphics were truly amazing and the animation of the player was also really nice and the whole lighting sett up just improved the overall look of the game that much more! The idea also worked very well so the player can slowly generate there own path over time meaning that incorporates the theme very well! The upgrade system also added to the use of theme even more, meaning that not only in a path generation sense but also in a physical levelling up sense: progress is made!
The shop UI could maybe be incorporated into the initial base somehow so that way the transition between gameplay is a bit smoother.
Overall, I really enjoyed playing and this is truly a masterpiece of a game! PS this game definitely deserves a top 10 spot!
