Really fun concept and great atmosphere, as others have said. For me, the difficulty ramped pretty fast and made it nerve wracking and exciting.
My biggest feedback if you revisit this would be to take another pass at the buff and difficulty progressions. It takes a long time to buff up to the needed damage, so it makes for a slow start. Maybe make the buff cooldown faster so players can spam it more, and if you want more difficulty to offset, then throw more projectiles at them or speed up the enemies.
Great job and keep jamming :)

Yeah could be better if buffing felt better maybe faster and more spamable might make it better but you'll never know until you test it.
And if the player is stronger so are the enemies but I don't want It to be too hard for a jam game no one going to try hard in my game anyway that's why some overpowered items are there to help people beat the game.
maybe I'll try after the jam but at that point, no one gonna play this game anymore so I'll never know if It's better or not
