Gameplay

The one requirement for this game was to only have one button. In this game, I worked off of cursor input. The big challenge was working on difficulty scaling. I experimented with variables and tested different forms of increasing difficulty. I found that linear difficulty increases gave players too much time to adapt to the rising difficulty, so I opted for exponential growth to keep players on their toes. 

Since this game was only built in a couple of days, it was hard to get creative with the one-button constraint and stay within scope. If I had more time, I would implement a mechanic for the button click to fight against the enemies to accommodate more aggressive playstyles.
