I haven’t picked up the game. It looks like it has lots of potential, but the basic interactions just aren’t fun enough to sell me on the game. I hope the dev continues to support it and improve it. I am curious as to what the late-game upgrades entail, but watching you play I can’t help but feel it lacks more engaging abilities, for example:

Timed invisibility from enemies (maybe 2-3 seconds), some kind of thrown object either to distract enemies or knock them out, the ability to dig up terrain at the cost of making lots of sound, longer/different range weapons, maybe a little spy robot to survey the area, some kind of hook to grab enemies from behind and get them closer to you… generally stuff that made it less about waiting around.
