The balancing of the game could be adjusted so that it is faster and more fun in the beginning. It feels like the movement is too slow. Good job, though!

@meursault I didn't had the time to balance the game. The First wave is kinda slow, but it picks up from there.

Also I published this as a Jam Game, and it's should be a Compo Game (I guess the lack of sleep got me at the end)

Congratulations, the game was really cool, simple and addictive. The monsters followed a very cool aesthetic and evolution. Full game.

First time, I barely got through the first level, I didn't quite make it to a boss to heal, so I got a little bit of upgrade and it made the game much better but I still died. Tried to play some more, but the first level is so boring while not being particularly easy, I didn't get past it. Aiming at the mouse without SEEING the mouse is a bad choice; sure you can see the direction, but it's not the same. Also, a better indication of cooldown would be appreciated; ideally there would be a sound effect but I also strongly recommend that you put like a small fire on the character to make it clear without having to look away. Seems like it has some potential, but again, I didn't get far.
