Yeah, running in circles is pretty much the viable strat in such open areas, at least you are kinda incentiviced to move around to pick up the weapons available to you.
I do plan to update the game at least to the original vision I had for it. For a post-jam content, sure, there could be more types of enemies, some smarter than others, thats a grant.
Thank you for the interest, it is always apreciated.
