Thank you so much for playing!
We are kind of perfectionists ahahahah which I guess it is good for the game as we in fact care a lot about polish of every aspect and I am glad you liked the result, maybe less good for our mental sanity lol
Btw this is just the prototype and we are working on releasing the full game!
Today or tomorrow we will hopefully release this demo on Steam :D
I would love for you to enter in our discord server and wishlist the game on steam if you liked it!
Thank you so much man!
We put a lot of time (eheh) into playtesting the whole experience, balancing costs and progression, so I really appreciate you liked it!
Will definitely try to play your games, but we are currently very busy and I don't know if we will be able to rate it in time before the deadline unfortunately :(
Thank you so much!
Did you manage to beat it in the end? Btw I agree, I like the fact that you basically have 10 seconds of time if you don't actively recover energy with kills or energy orbs collection, but especially without the last upgrade it is very very hard to do so, I have to think of a fix maybe some more upgrades :D

I see, it makes sense, yeah with that upgrade it gets much much easier because you only need one dash and not two, so this means faster energy recover thanks to dash lifesteal etc...
If you liked the game consider joining our Discord for updates, we plan on making this into a full release on Stea, :D
I think I got all upgrades. From top side (on top of the play button), it literally say I can kill. But honestly I didn't understand how exactly I can do it. I was trying mouse buttons, and keys like space, e, q.
update: Oh, I didn't get all upgrades, just now I saw preview images. So, how I can kill?

Well you got an upgrade which is called "Dash Damage" so maybe dashing through enemies will do something XD
Thanks!
Now I have finished the game
Final time: 1:57:08
Trials count: 251
Final boss was extremely hard relatively to the first part of the game.
Probably something wrong with life calculations. Player die but the energy exists (line that displays the energy amount), maybe energy drain animation is lagging behind the real energy amount.
And pointer position is not visible. This is very important. I bad understand where exactly the pointer and how much I need to move mouse and in which direction. This lead to incorrect movement, what is very important with such fast game pace.
Thank you so much!
Yeah initially the core idea was all about the economy upgrades, in those the theme of balance is central as you get a bonus but also the enemies do.
Then we of course needed upgrades to spend those resources gained by the economy bonus, and then at that point the connection with the theme was lost a bit as it got more diluted.
We realized it, but we did not want to be limited by it, and let the game evolve on its own, as it was fun to us regardless, even though I agree that the connection with the theme is not clearly evident.
Anyways, yeah we definitely are working on the game, and we plan to fully release it on Steam soon, I would love if you joined our Discord to receive updates if you liked the game :D
Thank you!
The enemies are not the only way to die, there is a continuous energy drain that increases as the time goes by.
The energy orbs (blue circles) spawns every X seconds, you can increase the max amount of them appearing at the same time in the map and decrease the spawn time with the upgrades. The idea is that you have to be careful and not take them too early, wasting energy recover potential.

Thank you very much, we are glad you liked it!
As for the theme, our original idea was to incorporate it in the upgrade tree, you should purchase them carefully balancing the greed of the economy branch (that makes you farm faster but also powers up the enemies) and the necessity of energy/movement/combat branch to survive.
We know it's not the best interpretation but we saw some potential of a game like this and as we progressed the development we diverted a bit from the theme, focusing on the gameplay, because we didn't want to get limited by it.

Thank you for this game, I had a good time and then the absolute rage time in a long time. But I managed to finish it and I'm happy!
You beat it congrats!
We are very glad you liked it! If you want you can join us on Discord (https://discord.gg/HWhDVbYHGx), we are planning on making this to a full game, adding more content, eventually (if you want to rage again xD)!
