A mesmerizing experience. Loved playing it, got some real Crimsonland vibes. Upgrades design is great, enemy design is nice (those freakkin runners!), balance is tight and feeling of progression is soooo nice! Liked the whole balancing act between trying to keep your distance and trying to pickup the loot. Nice and juicy sound design. Some solid top-down shooter!

My only complaints would be somewhat generic art style and lack of optimization on later stages (browser game get somewhat laggy as the horde got real big). But they were not enough to mire my enjoyment!

Thanks!  Art is definitely one of my bigger weak points, especially for game jams when I don't have enough time to polish sprites.  I'm really glad you liked the gameplay! :)
