Solid core loop here! The game is definitely addictive—I spent quite a bit of time trying to optimize my strategy.
What stands out:
The flow is great; the difficulty curve keeps you engaged
Despite the minimalistic aesthetic, the visual feedback is punchy and consistent.
Suggestions for the next iteration:
Narrative hook: Even a small bit of lore in the menus or between rounds would add a lot of personality.
This has actually inspired me to start working on a 3D take on a similar concept in UE5—so thanks for the motivation! Keep up the good work, it's a great jam entry
