Fantastic work! The art is amazingly charming and polished, the music is well-chosen, and I love the little snap sound and animation when a loop fails. The gameplay is easy to grasp but provides compelling challenge, the difficulty scaling feels fair and satisfying, and the meta-progression aspect was a pleasant surprise. The pacing fell a little short in subsequent playthroughs, as with even a couple upgrades the first several rounds became quite trivial, leading me to wish for some way to cause multiple waves to attack at once to advance faster. Overall, a charming and fun little game with a satisfying level of polish and balance.

Yay, thank you so much for playing! We're happy about the level of simplicity we were able to achieve, and the amount of variation we were able to get out of it. I agree on the balancing, though -- it's kind of strange, since with the (minimal amount of) playtesting we did, we noticed that it was extremely difficult for some and extremely straightforward for others. It's interesting to think of ways to balance this, given that fine motor control varies. Might be much better on a tablet. :)
