Jorjon,
Yeah, it's supposed to close like that, I was getting close to adding a win condition (or at least changing things up a bit after a while) and stuff for when your HP drops to 0, but I was running short on time because of personal life stuff :/ I'm thinking about improving it some time so there's actually animations and what you mentioned, though.
AyCe,
Different enemies are on my list of things to implement in an "actual release that doesn't blow because I was making it all in 72 hours" version. I have a lot of my code set up to allow me to do that incredibly easily, I made heavy use of OOP to my advantage.
As for different locations, I'll have to change up my system slightly, but it could be done. Perhaps I should make a Map class to make that easier :P
I purposely made some of the weapons a little too powerful because as you defeat more enemies, they also start to gain more health and do more damage. It'll get to a point where the only attack worth using is the thundershock, though I haven't really done any calculations or testing that far to see what that point is (I've got to about 150 on my own and it was getting to the point where it was the only move worth it, so I would say it's not much after that). I need to redo the spawning code though, because it seems people end up just getting stuck there for a long while. It was sloppy spawn rate code D:
I was testing with the spawn rate and damage modifiers. After about 300 enemies defeated, results get incredibly lulzy due to how I made things increase exponentially. Time to go change it to logarithmic :P
