The graphics and sounds are quite nice. I would have liked some more visual effects when taking damage/shooting/killing enemies.

Also when I beat a wave of enemies an enemy from the new wave would often spawn on top of me.
It's a nice effort but It might be a bit too simple. Good job, though!

The art and sound gave it an eerie and quirky feeling. I liked earning powerups as I went along. I didn't like how enemies spawned on top of you. I felt good when I beat it.

Nice game! I really like the art!

The overall tone was pleasant, a cute graphic made up for the MS Paint visuals :) but the platforming was a bit too imprecise for me, and the sound was nice, but also a bit lacking. Good premise!

Gameplay-wise the execution is good. And the art style is very unique. However, I don't like the controls at all. Why force us to spread between mouse and keyboard ? Either give us arrows and keys to shoot, or mouse and click. Not a mix of both, I am not even mentioning that I don't have an english keyboard layout (my A and Q are swapped).

LOL, I kept dying at the alligator level, and finally my boss walked in my office and caught me playing games. So I shamefully confessed what I was doing and he said "that looks easy." So, yay! I'm not in trouble! I'm definitely going to try again later. This is fun. Great job on the game mechanics - it has everything a lot of the other platformers lack - like rewards, and increasing difficulty. Plus, a box that runs around jumping on birds and springy things is kind of funny.

Nice graphics, and cool gameplay! I really like the fact that the same level evolves as you play.

Movement was a little bit difficult, clunky almost. The jumping didn't seem very precise and the waves spawning on top of me did get old quick. Other than that, I found the game to be fun and a nice take on the theme. The upgrades were helpful and they kept the game from getting too old too quick. Great job!

Any chance for Linux build? It looks super neat and I'd like to play it :/

Nice game, I enjoyed playing it =)
Controls are a little bit glitchy to my taste.

Simple but yet cool. I really love what you did for the art.
