Released the demo two days ago and now I'm on a third patch! 😂

This time the major addition were settings to customise the graphics - vignette, scan lines, ... - feedback is pushing this forward with me! TY

Stress testing can be pretty satisfying even if it's just squares and circles.
Testing spawners with waves of 500 enemies at a time. It has hiccups, but it's just nice to watch. 😃
