Leaning a bit towards bullet hell than arena survival. The meta upgrades might help, but the teeny tiny benefit for how long I had to scrap for them turned me off. Hard's fine, but you may want to tune this just a bit towards casual for this genre.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I will take this into consideration as I continue to tweak the gameplay for future updates.
From your experience, would you prefer larger stat bonuses from S-Gear or a lower material cost (asteroid material) to purchase the meta upgrades?
honestly, even just making asteroids appear earlier could be a good fix
