It took me a while to figure out why "a little pain is useful", the purple ui helped. Also, the bullets should be on sorting layer 999, because sometimes they fly behind other sprites and you don't see them coming. I think the bullets should always be seen. You did a fairly decent game all by yourself, so gg! Don't take this personally, the upgrades bug is annoying when enemies appear and they're covering half the screen. That bug should be a top priority before submitting an otherwise fun game!

I'm glad you like it! Sorry about the bullet sorting layer...
Yeah, that upgrade bug is really annoying. I found the bug several hours before the deadline and I somehow couldn't find what caused it. Two days later, I found that it is because of the distance between the UI and the camera. If we get really technical, my UI is 1000 units away from the camera and the torch collider blocks it from firing. It is a simple fix, but one bug I learned on this jam.
Thank you for your feedback!
