Okay I have to report that the scaling requirement to regenerate the pegs broke my left mouse button. Now I have to buy a new mouse. I really don't like features where you're required to spam a mouse button. It forces you to break your mouse or use an auto-clicker which I didn't have.
It was otherwise an alright game. Not a fan of the pixel art, and I wish the shotgun plant had just a tiny bit more range. I didn't notice the difficulty number until the end. Would prefer difficulty to continue scaling so it doesn't become an endless afk grind. The loop is simple enough. The performance is good, given the amount of stuff on screen. Well done.
