Awesome game!! I really enjoyed this, and wanted to keep playing! I felt it got too tough for me around levels 6-7. Excited to come back and try again! Great submission.

Thanks for playing! A core part of the game is the different item combinations. Depending on what you choose you can lose early on or completely destroy the game making it trivially easy. A good strategy is to try and focus on one power up at first rather then spreading out your levels. The power ups get exponentially stronger as you level them up so this might help. Balancing this game was one of the hardest parts of making it and I wasn’t able to get it absolutely perfect in time for the jam. I do plan to rebalance some things after the jam is done.
