I can't get the game to launch. It gets stuck on launch and I can't even kill the process in the background, so need a reboot to flush it :(

So you just lose if you miss a shot, right? That kind of killed the fun for me after I realized that. I never got my bullets back after missing a shot. I really liked the gameboy-esque chiptunes though, they really helped the experience.

Controls are pretty good. I also like the variation in the sound effects. makes a repetetive task feel way less monotonous.

Solid controls and graphics, but yeah I'm not a huge fan of the 'one-shot' mechanic in a lot of these Ludum Dare games. I'd like to see the take on theme in a different way.

Doesn't launch for me too. I double click the icon, and absolutely nothing happens.

Not getting your bullet back after you fail a wave kinda negates the point of the health bar. It adds some unnecessary lag time till the next attempt. I am cool with one failure games so long as I can reset immediately after the failure.

I'm currently trying to port the game to other platforms. Hopefully the game will launch for everyone when I've finished it or at least work in the webplayer.

Pretty addictive game play! The background music adds a lot along with the sound fx. My only issue is that after awhile, the game play can get repetitive. Ended up with a top score a little over 20k! Awesome work!

I wasnt really sure how to do this correctly with one bullet... but I included it in my Ludum Dare Compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look http://youtu.be/mLdQN8xdVMY
