Cool game! An interesting idea in a polished, neat package. One thing I might point out that got a teeny tiny bit frustrating were bounce angles on "sloped" walls (basically those that don't run along either x or y axis), at least I think that's what was happening. Maybe the perspective was confusing me instead. On the other hand, audio and visuals especially were great, and I did finish the whole thing!

It's funny that you used AI to handle balancing, which sounds like a potentially good idea, since big data etc etc, but balancing turned out to be probably the weakest point - I spent a lot of time playing this game and did not feel like I'm progressing anywhere, the fights were just too easy, the progression slow, and so the wins felt kinda meaningless, so I just gave up after maybe 20+ games.
I liked the stylization, sound was alright, the game loop was good, the special enemies were a nice touch. Overall I had fun (until I didn't, I guess)

Sadly I wasn't able to progress very far, since playing with a touchpad the controls were a bit too much. But I really like the mood and I think the game looks pretty.
Also, as a little side note - it's funny that both your game and ours went with basically the exact same idea, just executed it a little different. To know what I mean, just give it a try, I promise it'll be funny to you :D https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/nightguard (thanks if you leave a rating, but you absolutely don't have to)

An original but relatively simple idea, well executed. Which is probably the ideal combination. Great stuff!

So, I had a lot of fun playing, up to a point. The game could use a lot of balancing - as it were, I simply wasn't able to finish the game.
I had a lucky run with the Spark Coil (around 10min) and managed to get halfway through the core repair, which made the game significantly harder from the start, and from then on, if my first upgrade wasn't a Spark Coil, I was basically screwed. The Rivet thingy can't keep up and Gear launcher was practically useless... Also the thing with core repair materials, as was mentioned.
But, especially considering how much time I spent on this, I'd say good job overall!

It's been a while since I played The Roottrees Are Dead, so I enjoyed this bite-sized version of it quite a bit! I wouldn't necessarily need all the QoL changes mentioned so far, although some would be nice (like win condition trigger, I wasn't 100% sure I'm actually at the end), but more importantly - was it just me or was there no sound? Even clicks and button taps would add immersion, and would be super quick to add (IMO). All and all, glad to have played The Cybersaga!
