There is so much to these maps to explore, but in areas where enemies spawn, they end up spawning at such an insane rate that it's impossible for me to keep them down to a survivable level. With the flying dudes it quickly becomes bullet hell. Is this some kind of bug, like the enemies are too aggressive or spawn too fast, or are you just supposed to need to be really hardcore to play this?
The balance is kinda broken because I ran out of time. :-( I plan to fix this post-jam.
Fun fact: The spawning was even worse before release. Now it's a bit better. I guarantee the game jam version is still winnable, so keep trying. Hint: Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade!
Okay, I mostly wanted to make sure it wasn't something I did wrong or something obvious I missed.
I tried getting the upgrades and it made little difference. I even tried cheating and it barely made a difference, and by the time I had enough cheats enabled to actually let me get through the first level and past the first significant obstacle on the second one, I realized I was just going to spoil the whole game without actually "playing" it, so I'd rather wait for the post-jam version.
Even if it's technically winnable, the balance issue is still completely game-breaking for me; it's basically a frantic "bullet hell" game now, which means I can't enjoy the maps (which I noticed you put a lot of care into) and I can't even focus on trying to solve puzzles or anything, so it would only be winnable if I already knew where I was going and what I was doing.

Version 1.1.0 is out with many bugfixes. I hope it is better now.
