Thank you so much for the time you put in on making this comment! I really appreciate it! The delays at the beggining are longer, because on every game I make for a game jam, I keep getting the feedback how the game is too hard. I tried to make it a bit easier this time, and also some shopping time between the enemies. The delays were probably too long since you are very good at this game (according to the highscore). And you managed to beat my highscore! Well done!
PS: Did the game inspire you, in some way? lol
