really loved it! I totally missed the obvious fact that you can shoot fireballs and still was able to beat it. I played again with shooting and it was also great. Both ways are fun!
Great!
Awesome little game
Very nice game, finished it. I love how it's essentially an "escort mission" but somehow you made it fun! :D
what a masterpiece! so simple yet so entertaining game, thanks!
This is a great game. The upgradable system is very satisfying :). I like that I was able to finish it in half a hour. Thank you.
fun game, had to max way fewer upgrades than i expected to win. numpad arrows don't work for some reason (they just move around the webpage) which was inconvenient for me since my down arrow is broken
This was a really fun surprise! I love roguelites and this is such a clever little twist on them: far more simple, but also far more of a push to do it in as few attempts as possible.
The sound was REALLY helpful, and it felt stressful af despite being so cute. Well done!

This was a very fun little game! I love that you could theoretically if you are skilled enough beat this game with zero upgrades.
This is a very nice game for a 2 day project! I finished it before i could upgrade everything and was left wanting more. Maybe some extra levels would be nice but time is not on your side in a game-jam ofcourse :)
It's so satisfying. I kept playing until I maxed all upgrades.
This is such a nice game, very addictive. Unfortunately, I had a bug where at some point, where the orbs that I collected in a run were not added in the shop so I couldn't buy any more upgrades.
Orbs are not saved between runs, so you only have what you get in one run. Or are you saying you got 0 orbs from each run after some time?
ok, so I collected orbs, died, and in the upgrade menu, the orbs were not more than before, sometimes even less. so no matter how many times I went in for another run, no matter how many orbs I collected, I was not able to upgrade anymore. Maybe the issue is that I played on Arc browser instead of Chrome?
Yes, that's how it should behave. The orbs are not adding to what you have in previous round. When you start new round, orbs are reset to 0. So if your round is bad, you can get less than you had last time.
