Interesting concept, the astromancer was the most interesting to play, nice art style.

Way to work the theme in. And that astromancer was super fun! Really satisfying to play through. And I loved the art and music, simple but clean!

Polter-guestI like the self-balancing aspect, and very nicely tied in to the theme. Very enjoyable!

Lemon ManiaThis is one of the stronger entries in terms of incorporating the theme!
I really liked how lower health meant higher damage, which made it all the more exciting to continue fighting at one HP but very strong attacks. It added some tension because even if I could defeat all enemies, one mistake could mean the end of the run!
Nice job! 😊

Bunny HeavenThanks for playing, the astromancer is my favorite too. The ranger and frost witch are pretty similar with high health (only difference is that the witch deals more damage with a slower projectile). However, when they each get their upgrades they're quite different: the ranger gets a double jump, higher rate of fire, and a double shot, whereas the witch gets more projectile speed and damage, the highest move speed in the game, and a piercing shot.
That's pretty good! I was very impressed with amount of content in this game! Furthest I got was Wave 15.
It's really cool that the Astrologer plays completely different to the other two characters as well!

Tomb EscapeGreat little game, it works really well! The gameplay is great and loving the pixel art, it works flawlessly, no really any bugs I found. Only thing I would criticize a bit is I feel it's a bit light on the "more is less" theme, other than that I had a lot of fun playing your game, congrats!
