Level Design

Currently I added 9 levels, with different combination and spawn rate of the bugs.  I'm still struggling a lot with the wave design. The enemies are often too weak or too strong. I cannot find a objective way of measuring the game difficulty level and would really hope some one can help and share their experience and feedbacks.

Upgrade System

Currently, killing the bugs/nests will give player money, where they can use the money to purchase upgrades. If they win, will proceed to next level, if lose, will fall back to previous level, hence player will always keep in the game, and utilize the upgrades and buy new upgrades to strengthen themselves.

Sound

Added some small sounds to make the game looks nicer.

Plan

I'm a little bit tired of building this game. Will leave this game for a while until I have better idea or getting enough feedbacks. I probably will make a video about the game play. And I hope I will think better ways to finish this game in future.
