After that, and once I got to about level 10, it was a bit too easy - pretty much all of the enemies were dead by the bottom of the first loop.  I got to level 26 without losing any health at all.  But balancing aside (who has time for that in a game jam!), it was really enjoyable!  The idea of fending off bugs with kitchen appliances is particularly good!
