Postmortem
I like the concept of the game but feel it has not reached its potential. The gameplay is sorely lacking and a bit boring. There is little strategy to be had from having ghosts of the player come back and fight alongside the current character. Still, I am glad I implemented it. It was easier than I initially thought and will definitely be using it in future games. One feature I wish I had time to add is the black hole collapsing (hence the game's name 'Collapse') after reaching a certain size. Initially planned for all hell to break lose once too many enemies and debris had been sucked in.
