Pro Unique experience for each player of the game
Every level is procedurally generated with random spawning enemies, this allows for each level of the game to play out differently for every person playing. While the assets will be mostly the same as well as the enemies, the placement of them will be different, which makes for a lot of good replayability due to these changes as well as makes for unique experiences for all.
