Very good job! You managed to make a fun out of only a bunch of pixels, this ain't simple at all. Kudos!

I loved it. Creating an interesting game with so few degrees of freedom (about a hundred pixels, 5 buttons to press) requires a lot of skill. Good job!
Awesome, just awesome. The graphics are suprisingly fitting and the difficulty level fits.
Wow.
I loved it.
Combining puzzle solving with shooter skill, and creating some really distinct encounters with so little.
My only complaint is that I found the cursor a little hard to follow/pickout.
I like the idea, and I thought the pixel graphics were really well done, but I found it a bit too hard for my tastes. I think part of the problem was that I'd frequently lose track of the mouse cursor; it could do with standing out from the background a bit more.
Nicely done. This game is quite hard, though I've finished all but the 2 on the upper-left, those were a bit too much :P.
Many have asked, "when it comes to graphics resolution in my game, how low is too low?" This game attempts to answer that question by diving into depths of low resolution never before ventured. Even in the 60s, they were less hipster indie. Bravo.
Very fun for how low res it is, awesome!
Awesome job! This game was a lot of fun to play. I'll echo the other comments in that I would occasionally lose track of my cursor. Maybe a twin-stick control-scheme would work better? Either way, a lot of fun and a great game.
Nice, but it is quit difficult to play on a non-US keyboard ^^' (mine have zqsd instead of wasd)
An alternate set of controls with the arrow keys would be nice.
This should come in a cartridge. Reminds me of my 2600. Nice job.
I love how much time you spent on the art! It looks really good.
Is it just me or is this very hard? Anyway, great job, you really applied less is more!
That polish paid off. Quality oozes out from this game. The purple thing that sprays liquid at me was my favourite part. I had to really focus on moving and shooting to stay alive. The difficulty is perfect. Excellent job on everything. Great use of colours too. Moving my cursor over other colours to make new colours is another game in itself!
Some of it was confusing being that they were just pixels but overall it was really fun!
Top quality though, without a doubt!
oh no! Another game I can't play on my mac. :C
Looks cool though.
Great pixel cocktail!
Awesome!
Brilliant! All aspects of this game come together to create a truly amazing experience. This is probably the best entry I've played. Great job!
Building the gameplay around the super-low-res limitation is a good approach. The difficulty is just right, the levels actually feel like challenges and are rewarding to complete. My only gripe is that the targeting feels slightly off.
Interesting if not a little hard to control due to low resolution.
Wow, incredible! Can definitely see the effort that went into this; feels very polished. Also great that the whole game didn't reset when you died (a couple levels took me several tries!). Thanks!
Very fun and great challenge! I would prefer strictly keyboard controls, though.
This is the most fun game I've played on here. I love the different challenges and enemies; it was as much fun figuring out what I was supposed to do as it was doing it. Some of them were REALLY hard, which was frustrating, but I was satisfied when I pushed through, and there was enough variety you could go try something else for a while. Great game - loved it.
Interesting aesthetics, audio was ultra-annoying though. Generated tune + sfxr is a lethal mix :(
Just about impossible with a trackpad, but I bet I could do better with a mouse.
