Bubble bursting was kind of annoying. Only got to fourth level each time. Sorry but it crashed twice on me with relatively similar errors.

This was simple but fun. Obviously the graphics weren't very good, but I didn't mind so much. The music, while spare, captured the mood and tenseness of the game well. I liked the different minigames and didn't get bored with them. The game wasn't a long one but held my attention. Good job!

For some reason, I found "avoiding the sun" insanely fun. Unfortunately, the game crashed 3 times for me on that level.

I liked escape the sun the best as well.

Having a different mini game every level kept me interested the whole way through. I think it would have been better without the music.

That was ... strange. Annoying music, good ideas.
Seems you are creating to many new image object in some cases, which fills the memory. (Haven't checked the code, just the errors wally posted)

The music was rather annoying. The idea was good.

Not bad. I like "the frames are cramping your style, bro". It was also pretty funny the way you explained the missing levels. I have to say that minigames with different mechanics are always ambitious. Even if they're not hard to write, they take so much time. You might be better served just sticking with a single mechanic. It would have given you more time for polish, anyway. Agreed that the solar system level was obviously the best.

I'll have a look into the 'out of memory' errors. It seems that my sprites aren't being reaped, I'm not sure what's referencing them though.
