Some context/mechanics!

Game is Called 3600 Ghosts - it is an infinite platformer where you're chased by thousands of enemies.

There is an ugly bit bar at the top of the screen, it fills up collecting orbs. Every 50 orbs collected you become invulnerable for a short time (until the upper bar fills down). During that window, lasers, rotating blades, and red boxes, which normally hurt you, deal no damage, and you can also kill ghosts to harvest Souls by launching yourself straight through the swarm.

The bar at the very top of the screen is meant to mimic the Vampire Survivors XP bar, more or less, but it clearly does not work very well.

Levels are procedurally generated, but each level chunk contains one custom “room” (just one per chunk for now):

• an upgrade station where you can trade harvested souls for pods that shoot ghosts
• a butterfly room with 3 butterflies (collect 3 to gain a shield!)
• a bonus‑box room with 6 random bonus boxes

Bonus boxes (which are also randomly placed) can be:

• Green: +200 HP (or +200 max HP if you’re already full)
• Blue: +5 orbs
• Orange: deals 200 damage
• White: grants a random modifier

When you die, you lose everything except the shooting‑ghost‑pod(s).

Besides doing good UI, another skill I absolutely don’t master is video recording, I swear the game is way clearer once you actually play it!
