Nice for a short play, pretty simplistic. For a first in flash in 48h an impressive feat though!

I really liked your character animations. They made the game for me.

Before about 17,000 you can just hold down the right arrow key and you will never die.

Not a bad attempt, though. As others have observed, the visuals are nice.

188,000! Didn't seem like it was getting harder fast enough...

Great art

The graphics are great, and the protagonist is hilarious.

Player animation rocks and the monster looks pretty good too. The gameplay was too simplistic though.

I am not sure if I missed something but seems other commentors are saying it gets harder or changes? Anyway, I just was sitting there running on the right of the screen and jumping every other bullet till I got bored at like 8,000 points or so and committed suicide. :)

The graphics are really hilarious though and well done. Definitely has a great style. The running moron still has me chuckling when I think of his tongue wagging out.

Cool for your first flash game but as a standalone experience it is definitely lacking in the game play department at this point.

Would have been nice to have changing bullet patterns, but once I realised that the speed was increasing I felt compelled to play until I died...

So in that sense it was a success. The player animation is also amazing in its simplicity.

Wohoo flash. It's cute but non-gamey. What's there is rather smooth.
Maybe you could have made the shots a bit more random and gradually speeding up the fire rate to make it challenging? Then it would suddenly be a moderately worthwhile game instead of a simple test.

Entar

Good humor, but really simple and repetitive.

I love the graphic style. Wasn't much to do except jump and avoid the pattern of the projectiles. Maybe if they were random or there was other things to jump over it would have been more interesting.
