Enemy attacks do feal readable. Death does feel fair. I could not help but notice there are no upgrades. After a while the waves started to blend together. It didn't really feel like anything was changing. I could not figure out what focus did for the life of me. It is a cute game, but it got boring quickly. 7/10.

Thank you for taking the time to try it and give feedback, it's very helpful.
What you're saying confirms one of my concerns : the feeling of repetition and the potential for boredom, especially in the early levels. I'll think about what I can implement to improve that.
Regarding the focus mode, it reduces the player's movement speed by half, while the rest of the environment keeps moving at normal speed. I'm also considering how to improve it, either through clearer visual effects or adjustments to the system itself.
Again, thank you for your feedback and your time.
