🩸 Reminder to leave a review ❤️

Reviews are vital for a game's success. It doesn't need to be detailed. Even a single word is enough, thank you

✨ Major Additions ✨

1. Totem: makes every enemy in its range invulnerable to all damage sources. Runs away from the player. Only spawns on Master difficulty and above

2. Unstable Tank: a tank that explodes into 3–4 enemy projectiles when eliminated. Only spawns on Expert difficulty and above

• You can now enable "High Contrast" mode for the player, which turns it green

👀 UI and Visuals 👀
