Good effort, interesting landscape.
Had some trouble with hitting 'R' -- didn't seem to do anything.
Also had some trouble while moving up (with the 'w' key) -- it seems that it would hit a certain point, then I wouldn't move anymore. Had to press and hold 'a' or 'd' then press 'w' in order to move up on the screen.
And, it seems that all monsters on the screen were getting hit when I pressed the space bar.
Nice graphics, the characters were cool, it would be great with a bit of sound!
First couple of attempts at playing the game my character was spawned right on top of some rocks so couldn't move. My third attempt resulted in a monster knocking me onto a rock so I again couldn't move.
still a bit rough, lacking feedback makes difficult telling whats going on.
I liked the idea that they use C4 to destroy the planet, as well as the inverse "stop the evolution" idea ;)
but I had some troubles playing this:
* 'R' doesn't reset the level ;)
* The stones are hard to distinguish from the rest of the ground which, in the beginning, made me wonder why I can't move to "certain directions"
* Any feedback on hitting enemies would have made this much more enjoyable. Even if it had only been a red square being shown at the monsters position for a short duration or sth. alike. As it is now, it's really hard to tell if you are being hit (which is shown by you jumping away for a few px) or if you hit sth. else (which is shown by "sth. else" jumping away for a few px).
* Once you are hit by an enemy it seems there is no way to evade or block the enemy. It just keeps punching, evil thing!
* I don't think anyone will play this for 30 minutes (which is roughly the time that the timer indicates is needed to win the game). Maybe you should have chosen a shorter duration that one has to protect the bomb to give the game an achievable goal.
