Really quite addictive. Though there seems to be a bug where the game will sometimes skip a level.

Good basic stuff! Silly, but "fun" in the same way that all of these types of games are fun.

A few criticisms:
1) The guitar loop gets REALLY grating after about 10 seconds.

2) It's weird that if you leave the level at the bottom of the screen, the lines slide towards the bottom. If you think about it, it should be the opposite (exit bottom, animate the lines moving upwards).

3) Seems odd that the game doesn't pause when you hit the shop.

I love mustache.

Nothing like a good top-down shooter :D Good job. Only issue I had is sometimes the yellow border sticks around, causing a skippage of levels.

Well that was silly.

Enjoyable, reminded be a bit of the arcade game Berserk from way back in the day.

Upgraded everything and then bought the cane, best upgrade ever! :D loved the music, charming ^^

I LOVE the guitar loop and don't care what anybody else says. It lends a GREAT playful feel to the whole thing. Well done :)

I really enjoyed my time with this game. I found the gameplay to be pretty solid and the amount of variation in the enemies in combination with the shop upgrades kept it fun for a good while.

I do have a couple things that I'd like to nitpick about though:

I feel like the graphics where a little weak. I understand it's meant to be simple but they lacked some style. (Except the bad ass player with his top hat.) I also found that the particles often hid bullets, especially the little red lightning bolts which was pretty annoying.

The music was fairly nice but looped far too quickly and the lack of sound effects was a bit of a shame.

Other than that though I had a good amount of fun with this game and by the end I was the destroyer of all things. (I also think the game might have glitched and made me invincible.)

None the less, good game. Well done!

Nice game, it plays very well and the music gets the mood.

Kept me playing longer than I thought ;) The shop mechanic with the upgradable weapons was a nice touch.

It's fun, gets a bit repetitive but it's simple and fun.

Seen other games like this in the competition, but this is one of the mos addictive ones :)

This really was quite addictive. Shooting around somewhat senselessly was pretty amusing, and the gun upgrades were also pretty fun to play with. The only thing I wasn't very impressed with were the graphics. The colors could have been nicer to look at. Overall, it was pretty good. Quite enjoyable!
