I thought this was cute!! I love the sprites, all the enemy designs are really charming. I also appreciate the twist on the Vampire Survivors-style game, I love a number-go-up game. I did have some issues, I feel the balancing might have been a bit off, I never really got to a point where I felt i was gaining any traction against the horde, even at lvl 15. Leveling up at that point also slowed down dramatically that I had to stop of my own accord. I appreciated dying wasnt really a stopping point but a pause but maybe utilizing the time to acquire permanent upgrades would be handy?? In saying this, balancing difficulty in a game of this style isnt an easy thing so it's still a great thing to finish something like this in the time we had!
I also really enjoyed the music but it eventually stopped for me! Not sure why but I was able to find some gamey tunes on my own to get me back in the groove.
