NOTES

- There are known bugs especially with the level generation as it is pretty random and does not ensure paths will always be there.
- The game is pretty unbalanced and therefore can be pretty hard, but I think it's worth it to try and make it to the end. There's only 3 levels with 3 waves each.
- This is obviously not a complete thing on its own but it serves as a proof of concept for a type of game like this.
