Hi Bloobane, I tested your game and the gameplay is great .
- You should use another color than light grey/ dark grey to make your font more readable. The selected line could be in yellow for example.
- I was surprised by the self destruction of one boss, maybye you can make it blink in red to warn the player that he's still dangerous .
- I think that you can reward the player with a free upgrade by defeating the first boss to encourage to continue the game. I must kill 4 bosses here to be able to enhance the power of my shoot.
- A small edit of your player to show which direction he points should be nice; ex: His arm can be at diagonal when he points the diagonal direction.
- I took the door at the upgrade menu to return to the game and bim game over .

I like the upgrade concept, a very cool feature and the various bosses (maybye some of them can have minions?) + the next boss teasing, great job!

Thanks for playing  8)

maybye you can make it blink in red to warn the player that he's still dangerous

Actually all bosses flashes red on death to warn player but maybe some of them might not be contrast enough. I'll check to see if I could make it flash more red

The selected line could be in yellow for example.

Thanks for the tip .

I think that you can reward the player with a free upgrade by defeating the first boss to encourage to continue the game.

Hmmm... my idea is player should fight 1st bosses with default stats before upgrading anything. I might increase crystal drop to allow player to upgrade earlier

- I took the door at the upgrade menu to return to the game and bim game over

The arrow is for returning to game while door is for exiting the game .
