I am not sure if I missed something, but it feels like mechanic of shrinking the play space could have been a bit more aggressive. I rarely did anything to the walls even though at some point I realized I could.
The game feel and so cool
It's fun, feels good, has a lot of polish and very consistent art. The difficulty grows a bit slowly to keep the game interesting, but that's a nickpick for such a great compo game. Good job!
I saw a little late that the explosion of the gems kill the enemies, that's a great idea! The explosion deserves to be bigger and obvious, it could encourage taking the risk of rushing to the gem.
The upgrade system is good and addictive, it's just sometimes a little frustrating to have duplicate upgrade.
I really like the graphics and animations, especially the wall animation.
Very cool game! Good job!
I found this game using "danger" filter. It's weird that it has so few ratings.
Anyway, this is a really solid base, and if you choose to expand it, there's potential. Great work.
Having some invincibility frames after getting hit would be nice, I think.
