Thanks for playing and glad you liked it so much! An honor that it even somewhat reminded you of the glory of some COD Zombies from back in the day! Ya one of the primary goals I wanted for this jam was to make a game that was fun and that felt good to play. I think I did pretty well this time.
I agree about the milestones. I actually didn't expect people to play too much and I did want players to spend at least a little time with lower level spells, but I know actually play through it trying to get all the way to a 1000 is a stretch. Especially as several people have noticed it essentially just turns into running in a huge circle for the best spots.
And also good point about the rng. I didn't really notice till the end of developing, but 4 of the weapons are literally just point in general direction. If I ever revisit this I'll probably think of a way to make the weapons more specific or impactful in certain niches.
Super glad you loved it though! Means a lot!
