While simple, this was actually a rather fun, amusing little game, if difficult to keep going for more than a few minutes.

The game was very simple, but also very fun, and I really liked the way the music fit in with the style of the graphics too.
Intro is funny at first, but drags out and is unskippable. Gameplay is a little too hectic and very simple (not a bad thing though). Text messages during playing are a little annoying. Gets repetitive quick.
Jumping for green/to avoid red usually makes me swallow a bucket full of bullets, so jumping to dodge is rarely worth it.
particles are great but they mask bullets and bonuses ( which are pretty fast ). The game is fun :)
Great music and surprisingly addictive given how simple it is.
My main complaints were the unskippable intro (esp. the second time through) and the fact that I could run way off the screen and not know what was going on.
Overall, though, a solid effort. Great job!
Mmm. I found it prohibitive to watch the whole intro every attempt. The large popup texts inside the game were way too distracting right from the start when a beginner is already shocked by the sudden rapid movement and countless objects everywhere. Seems like it could be fun though, with a nice degree of floaty controls and music to back it up.
Let the player skip the intro, especially if the game can end in time shorter than it lasts. Gameplay felt a little too random. It was hard to get points and not get hurt, and the bullets flew too fast. Also, I had no control over how high I jump. Audio is quite good, though.
The intro should be skipable, otherwise I don't feel like playing again as the interest accumulated while playing fades away while waiting for the new round. This is a fun although a little too fast and hard game.
