All the upgrades stack though. So if you bought piercing bullets, your bullets will pass through 1 enemy.

I should probably put that in the description though, as I don't think it's obvious.\n\nAlso, I found that it sometimes better to buy nothing at all and just get through a wave by having more health points. :slight_smile: \n\nThanks for playing and thanks for your feedback! :smile:","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jka","author_uid":"1098775","time":"2019-04-29T11:14:51Z","epoch":1556536491,"modified":1556536491,"text":"@furtive-pygmy @jakobthequizguy Thanks! :smiley: ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"victorcrafty","author_uid":"1008100","time":"2019-04-29T11:15:54Z","epoch":1556536554,"modified":1556536554,"text":"Cool game.The idea with upgrades that player gets from devil is great.I think you should make the time when you speak with devil longer, atleast first 4 waves.Sounds fit very well.
