Thanks! I love particle effects lol
And I appreciate the feedback! The music was definitely a time constraint issue. We prioritized working on the SFX and as the deadline approached we toyed with the idea of using some royalty free music, but ultimately decided it was important to us to use as close to 100% original assets and work
For the difficulty escaping, I'd recommend you try out the "Fool Me Once" and "Personal Space" perks if you see them come up ;)
