Rapid Escalation (First Steam Prototype)

The upgrades in the current upgrade tree seem good, but I’d suggest getting rid of the web layout. It looks like this right panel already shows your current upgrade level for each upgrade on the Battle Results screen, so I think it would be better to let players highlight over and click on the upgrade icons there to buy upgrades there, sort of like this (I made this in paint really quick to show what I mean): The web based layout initially made me think that the next tier of upgrades would be a totally different upgrade, whereas its actually just the next rank of the same upgrade before it. So if the higher tier upgrades are just rank 2 and rank 3 of the same upgrade, then having the web layout feels like it just adds an unnecessary layer of complexity. I think most players do end up preferring a more complex upgrade system, but the developer should always try to make the system feel as simple as possible from the player’s perspective I also see a display bug when I highlight over an upgrade at the top of the screen that cuts off the tool tip explaining the upgrade when i highlight over one at the top of the web: It also would make the gameplay loop flow a bit better/faster if you don’t have to switch to the upgrade screen and could just buy the upgrades on the Battle Results screen.
