Tetragun is a great arcade game, very much worth the low price of free and pretty fun for a handful of rounds.

Some feedback:

* I agree with adding a high contrast mode. The issue isn't just the colors, but the enemy death particles being the same color and shape. It's hard to parse where enemies are when there are 100 circles on screen, most of which are just remains of dead enemies.

* Higher difficulties are very RNG-driven. On Extreme and Nightmare you have to hope you don't get a run-ending enemy trait *and* getting the right upgrades. Also, sometimes you just lose since fast enemies come from all directions and rotation speed is constantly a bottleneck.

* It would be nice if I can view my current stats

* The game could use a balance pass. Some enemy traits are inconsequential while others (like Duplication) are total run enders. Many upgrades are also not useful outside of stat upgrades. Helpers like asteroids and military dudes feel to weak and unreliable compared to just 50% more fire rate or rotation speed, things that are necessary to win.

That's it. Thanks for making the game free!

Thank you very much for the feedback! I'll definitely take that all into consideration. Also just so you know, you are able to view your stats if you pause the game (escape). It'll also show you all of your upgrades, the enemy's stats, and the enemy's upgrades.
