Thank you!
@mappum: Yeah, we had just gotten to the stage where adding new enemy types and attacks was feasible. However, we ran into the hard deadline of OrcaJam ending and having work in the morning. :(
As far as difficulty goes, I went through a number of iterations. I personally found it pretty easy, but I think that's because I have a fair bit of practice dodging the attacks (both in this game and in others). I enjoyed it more with damage being dealt, but the majority of the people I tested it on just charged straight in.
If this were a longer form game, I would be much more comfortable with turning the difficulty up and letting the players die a number of times, forcing them to adapt. As it is, I was shooting for more for instant gratification and enjoyment of the spectacle.
I am a little disappointed I didn't have time to implement all of my enemy ideas, but I guess I'll have to save them for another game (I could say "One day I'll come back to this game", but I know in my heart that I likely won't).
