Nice graphics, fun and addictive! The enemy AI is also very good. You could add a way to select the upgrades with the gamepad, not only with the mouse. Anyway, very nice!

Actually, you can buy upgrades using a gamepad — I tested it again. Maybe the mouse cursor was still hovering over a button or something, I’m not really sure. I was a bit sad to read that comment, because I spent several hours fully integrating gamepad support into the game. In the upgrade menu, you can purchase upgrades using the gamepad buttons (Xbox – A, PS – X), and you can also press Start to jump straight into the game. Because the stress bar doesn’t increase very smoothly with keyboard input, you can also control how fast it fills based on the strength of the joystick input, making it speed up or slow down accordingly.
I even added vibration feedback in many places in the desktop version. Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback!
