This is a fun game! I got to level 49 before things got too fast for me to run away from. I love all the little details you have with how the color splats have the same shape as the parent shape. Reminds me of a platformer game called Ink (https://zackbellgames.itch.io/ink)

Oh wow that game is pretty. Never heard of it so thank you for updating my library of games. I'm glad you like it! The attention to the detail is very much appreciated! Might be hard to tell but i actually have your songs pitch dynamic based on the timer to give it more of a speed feel as the game progresses. It really works well Imo.
Another way to handle this (I think this is how Vampire Survivors does it) is that if the pickup gets too far away from the player, it despawns and the value gets added to a "bonus" pool. Then when you beat a boss (or just the next enemy) that bonus value gets added to the new pickup. That way nothing is really wasted sitting 20 screens away from the player.
