I have no idea if I'm wrong, or if the game's wrong, but something's screwy.
I managed to luck out early by upgrading my "Ero-Cannon" as quickly as possible, netting me massive heaps of experience. Everything seems to go just fine—damage upgrades, speed boosts, magnetic field increases. The Growth stat doesn't feel like it does much of anything...
...but worst is when I start taking the other bonuses. I take a Health power-up at one level, and instead of "increasing my HP by 30%" or whatever, it cuts my total HP to 30%. Likewise, I take an EXP Gain power-up in another run (because obviously I died in the first one where I took the Health power-up), and at Level 40, I went from flying through levels to getting nothing from either the silver or gold EXP gears; progress stalls, I get inundated by the strongest enemies moving as fast as I move from all sides, and inevitably die... again... and again... and again. So it seems that at Level 40, the amount of EXP needed to gain a level just shoots up into the stratosphere, and is not a function of whether or not you have a busted EXP Gain power-up. That's on me for not knowing.
Having both touch and WASD controls at the same time can cause some pretty big errors in playing, as just one errant click could send you careening into a horde of chasing enemies. And I see a "Sync" bar on the side, but I have no idea what it does, how I'm supposed to increase it, or even if I can.
I played three rounds, all wins. The first round I used the WASD keys, upgraded the Ero Cannon ASAP and got a lot of upgrades in a row after mowing down the group that was following me. After that I stopped getting upgrades, reaching level 100+ by the end of the level. The second round I used the mouse control, clicking on the character. It felt weird on pc, it was hard to aim at first because you have to click around the character instead of the tank, but I think I got better as time went on. I stopped taking upgrades at level 12 and won. The third run I tried taking no upgrades and avoiding enemies. I got hit twice during the run, but I was able to win without picking up a single cog.
Thanks for playing, and the review. We are still working on balancing issues in the game difficulty, so I hope you could give it a try again when the balance update is roll.

Could use some alternate attack modes.
Audio is also something I'd really like to see added.
Yes, we are working on add new weapons in future patchs, and also some sound. Thanks for playing!
Thanks for the game Melongun!

Played a couple rounds. Seems fun! Looking forward to more content!
Thanks for playing! We are glad you had fun. We are making weekly updates, so we hope you keep looking forward for future versions.
I like the art. But the game is very basic for now.
Thanks for the comment, we hope you can hang around in future updates, with a more robust game system and more art.
