This is so much fun! I really enjoyed playing through it. Unfortunately, the second storm got me but I definitely want to retry at some point, now that I understand what I'm doing a bit better. The roguelike element of permanent upgrades would also make losing feel less like you've lost so much progress. Would definitely play a full version of this!
Hey Scott, thanks for playing it! And congrats on surviving the first storm! That's a feat!
I also agree that having a roguelike version to give you permanent upgrades that make it easier will help ease the difficulty gradually and also add some sense of progression even if you fail! I don't know if there's time but I may try to prototype it tomorrow and see how it goes!
