Honestly, a really fun game. I see that you talked about bugs being an issue, but I didn't notice any luckily. It's sad that there isn't more levels because I finished the game quite quickly and I definitely would've spent time playing them. Whenever you got a kill, it was so satisfying. You felt so powerful when the enemies would spill out blood like a volcanic eruption was happening. I also thought the sound played into this just as well. I like that the concept of the game revolves around dying to upgrade, because it allows the game to be fun for a less skilled player. I loved getting upgrades so much so that I ended up not ending the game when I had the chance, but seeing how far I could go with the upgrades. Let's just say that I wasn't shooting bullets anymore, but laser beams. Anyway, great game and good use of the loop theme. Haven't seen anyone use it like this. Well done!

cheers for the kind words mate! Melting the enemies with a lazer beam or a massive ground pound explosion is super fun :)
if i had had more time to work on it (had to submit the game a day early) i could have done a few more levels where the difficulty gets ramped up.
in my initial idea for the game i thought that i would reset the players score to 0 if they died in a level. had my partner test it and they thought it was too punishing so i toned down the difficulty a little bit.
im glad you enjoyed it mate! once i get off work i will give your game a go!
much love mate <3
