Great gameplay, love the graphics! 5 starts :D
Awesome game. Any chance of a high score feature being added?
I had the idea but never got round to it, hopefully soon. Thanks!

Could be better with WASD controls, but yeah, neat game.
The downloadable versions actually create a config file, but I haven’t done proper UI yet.
