Hi BlackOpsBen!
What an excellent and original little arcade game! I love the stylistic choice of bro culture. Reminds me of those bro memes you see floating around occasionally.
It is a nit-picking comment (because this game was so well done) but I didn't find it incredibly obvious when the alert level kicked up. It's great that the bar is red, but a more obvious indicator (perhaps a screen shake) would totally help me realize I screwed up!
Overall excellent execution and good luck in the rest of the jam!
Best,
