Haha you beat my highest iteration, im surprised you got that far, Just means i need to tweak the game a bit further for it to be a tad bit more aggressive in terms of difficulty spike per iteration.
Yeah i took inspiration from bloons TD and PVZ 2, their speed up buttons, and made it an autostart so that the player does not have to keep hitting start, unless they want to change their loop logic and or upgrade their skills :)
As for the upgrade points, unfortunately 3 minutes before submission we ran into a bug where the points werent rendering in correctly, so i hard coded them to not soft lock the player from upgrading, and let them experiment with the game
And you're absolutely right, i think zooming out as the iterations become higher and you upgrade your range would be an amazing feature, showing more of the terrain, ill definitely implement that after the game jam :)
Thank you so much for showing such love and appreciation to our game, we're glad you enjoyed it :D
