Fantastic game

Updating my review from 3 stars to 5. I was initially frustrated by a slow start but I stuck with it. Once you get your first few permanent upgrades things really take off and you collect more and more energy shards quickly. One request however, make it more apparent when the Emergency Revive is used. I can’t keep an eye on the health bar constantly and I’m never quite sure if it’s been used or not. Maybe have the action pause for a split second and then some sort of quick flash on the screen and a certain noise plays. Looking forward to future updates. Game Center leaderboards would be a nice addition.
