Preview 3
This is the last preview version before a final release, so I can gather feedback on the difficulty level/curve and how it feels generally compared to the arcade, as well as any edge case bugs that I haven't come across yet.
It contains all intended features apart from those listed below, one of which will be a unique simultaneous two-player co-op mode in which you work together to destroy waves, while also competing for the highest score.
What's still to be done?
Challenging stages 6-8. Currently, 1-5 will repeat.
Two-player co-op mode.
