Wow i'm so proud to read your comment, thank you so much !

I'm aware that the game is indeed still VERY unbalanced but i'm currently working on it, no worries ! By the way one of the bonus is extremly unbalanced too, i mean OP, just saying ... ;)

Actually the game was also supposed to have a boss fight, 2 other types of enemies and 2 or 3 more weapons and bonus, but i didn't have the time to make a proper version of the game with them so they will probably be implemented in the next update, after the jam !

I will fix some bugs and balance the game a bit more not to be overwhelmed by swarms of enemies too quickly

I have to say, you made my day with this comment ... Thanks a lot for your kindness !

No problem, I'm glad to hear that I'm not just incredibly bad at the game, but it is actually a bit unbalanced :D

I think I know what upgrade you're talking about, I went from doing about 50 damage a shot to doing 800 damage a shot out of the blue... That took me by surprise. Also, by wave 7, something strange happened. I don't know exactly why, but suddenly, everything disappeared. All the monsters, my upgrades, everything. Then they started raining down again, only now I wasn't doing damage at all... My elephant was also gone, and the only thing doing damage now was my flames and my missiles (and they were only doing like 1-3 damage?) Maybe too many monsters had spawned and it basically soft-crashed?

I could see some boss fights being a really cool addition! I hope you keep iterating on this, you're off to such a great start. One of the best games I've played this jam for sure! :D

Yes this is exactly THIS upgrade ;) but actually it was not necessary since the first of the leaderboard made his score without it

By the way yes, you're absolutely right, the spawning rate is too high at some point and this is why the game looks so weird after some time. I will definitely check out how to fix that ! I will also see how to make the difficulty a bit less brutal because basically after the third wave this is almost impossible if you do not have a decent build

Thanks again for your comments ! This is the first time I make a 2D game and this is such motivating to have honest and detailed reviews like that. I will never thank you enough for that :D
