Nice and pretty concept along with the aesthetics, well done on that!
I can guess that money is a leftover currency you’re supposed to use but never did. Since that was not a balancing factor, I ended up pretty high just with that one upgrade that allows you to miss the mark by simply spamming stop immediately and minimizing the leeway.
I still can’t stop gushing over the title screen being so cool…
The only downside is well… PoliteClub’s comment as you already know. It just takes forever.
