Merci! :) happy new year!

Gave it a go! my major issue was I needed more explanation of gameplay elements (didn't understand upgrade system in the slightest, powerups, or the generator)

Other than that it's a good start and I had fun :)

Hiya! Here's my play of the game. The only problems I had was not being able to change resolution and the generator parts were kinda hard to find. The game was really fun and I loved the low-poly art style!

Cheers mate, I am glad that you enjoyed the game :). Have happy new year

I got your message however there is a critical error in the game, its all smooth at first but after a few minutes (when the music loops it seems), the fps drops to a shocking low level and the game crashes.

Hi, first of all sorry for the inconvenience. As a quick fix try to lower the Graphic settings to High instead of Ultra. I think I know where the issue could be I'm working on it :)

EDIT: FIXED 25-12-2017
