Would have liked to see more of a ramp in difficulty, whether that consists of having multiple levels or ramping up\/fluctuating the enemy spawn rate over time, or some other method. As it currently stands, it's very easy to get overwhelmed and the moment that happens, there's no opportunity to recover, meaning the player is just sitting there waiting for defeat.\n\nThis game has a lot of good things going for it, just needs to dial in the difficulty.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1065844,"author_name":"LDJam user 280707","author_uid":"280707","epoch":1713576789,"text":"Pretty neat concept, though I found it was incredibly difficult to do much of anything before getting completely swarmed.
