I love the mechanic of making the game harder by giving bonus to the final boss. 

Some extra skill would make it a game of a few more minutes. But very entertaining, I hope for an update of the game in the future!

Nice art style! I just wish the character sprite was a bit bigger to appreciate it better (while keeping the hitbox small, hahaha). I did find it a bit easy, maybe having infinite upgrades that explore things like the movement speed of the boss or the hit rate and have a score depending on how many upgrades did the boss get would make it a bit more challenging and replayable.

Overall, good work!

I thought the upgrades were for my character and then immediately regretted my decision to upgrade to triple shot haha.

I enjoyed the increasing challenge as you play the game.

Definitely a fun game, just wish there was a bit more content and more art.
